Revive Me O Lord!

I don't know about you, but sometimes life can get a little crazy! Between family, work, ministry, kids activities, and trips to the grocery store, I can sometimes find myself running on empty. Just recently I recognized the fact that my spiritual tank was running a little dry and God brought Psalm 119 to mind. Throughout this Psalm David describes his emptiness with phrases like:

• my soul cleaves to the dust (v. 25)
• my soul weeps (v. 28)
• my soul is crushed with longing (v. 20)
• my soul languishes (v. 81)

Do you ever find your soul in similar circumstances? David knew the cure for spiritual fatigue and emptiness was spending time with God in His Word. In fact, in verse 49, David says God's Word actually revives him.

If you find yourself feeling empty and in need of revival, set aside a little time to fill your tank. Reading through the Psalms is a great way to refocus your heart and mind on eternal things. Below I've included a list of some of my favorite psalms. Even if it's just 5 minutes, sitting and soaking in God's Word is a great way to fill up your spiritual tank.

That's one of the reasons we encourage you to participate in one of our Bible Studies at ABC - to draw you to God's Word so He can use it to refresh and revive you. It's amazing what God can do when we spend a little time sitting quietly at His feet soaking in His Word. I pray God fills you up today with encouragement from His Word!

"Consider how I love Your precepts, revive me,

O LORD, according to Your lovingkindness."
