PSALM 85:3-7
[3] You have withdrawn all Your wrath and indignation, You have turned away from the blazing anger [which You had let loose].
[4] Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Your anger toward us to cease [forever].
[5] Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger [and disfavor] and spread it out to all generations?
[6] Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
[7] Show us Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation.
We need to understand that we are God’s own creation ; He created us in His own image and likeness. Though we live in the world full of uncertainty and life often present us with circumstances that are beyond our control because of our relying so much on worldly things rather than trusting in God and relying on His words
In verse 6 of our reading today it says “Will you not Yourself Revive Us Again, that your people may rejoice?”.
We honestly need revival in our hearts, and in our homes. We need true Revival all over the world both spiritually and in our physical being. The word of God says satan as a roaring lion seeking for who to devour “Stay alert ! Watch out for your great enemy the devil , he prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour”.(1peter 5:8) NIV
Families are invaded by terrible attacks from the enemy our adversary and by extension the nations are bombarded by all manner of evil vices. A Lot of things have actually gone wrong For everyone looks out for their own interest not those of Christ any longer while the word of God says “No one should seek their own good but the good of others (1corinthians 10:24).
The high rate of in-house troubles, quarrel, strifes, acrimony and Evincive tendencies arising from among family members which has torn families into shreds, some members are no more seeing eye to eye others are in the verge of killing each other as the result families are disintegrated no one cares for the well-being of the other person. May God Revive Us Again
To REVIVE US is To make us Flourish Anew , Restore us to Life to regain strength or Energy to Revitalize or reinvigorate us from the challenges that we had suffered due to sin nature of man. Psalm 138:7 says “though I walk in the midst of trouble thou wilt Revive me,thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies and thy right hand shall save me”.
Today, as much as ever before, we need to be rescued from the influence and the consequence of sin. Our nation is in so much trouble today simply because of sin. One way or another, all of our problems go back to sin: People stubbornly rejecting the God of the universe and His righteous ways and pursue their own selfish mind which has really brought hardship to nations
May we continuously pray according to the words In Psalms 119:153- 154, that God Almighty in His Loving Kindness according to His promises \”Look upon my affliction and rescue me , \”For I do not forget Your law.
Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word\”. In Jesus Mighty Name Amen.
May You Be Richly Blessed As You Read And May God Almighty Revive Your Life And Your Home 🙏
