Psalm 116:145-160

A 5 minute reading of this passage saw a focus of revival. Four times the English word "revive" is mentioned. And the psalmist wisely connects revival with God's word. Not only is spiritual revival grown from scriptures, but so are many other aspects of our lives revived when we grow in God's word. Relationships are revived because scripture leads us away from selfishness and into the actions of one-anothering. Emotionally we are revived because scripture teaches that we have a greater purpose in this life; something beyond ourselves that has eternal value. The value of labor is revived when viewed properly from a scriptural perspective. Labor is not a curse, it is a means to express our God-given abilities in a fruitful way. There are probably many other revivals into which scripture will lead us, these are just a few.
