revive me

I lie in the dust; revive me by your word.
My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to Your word.
Psalm 119:25, 28

Praying that you may be revived, strengthened, encouraged today to be real with God as David was in Psalm 119. If you need revival, tell Him and ask Him to revive you. If you need strength, tell Him and ask Him to strengthen you. Whatever it may be that you need, tell Him of your need and ask Him for it. He is a wonderful God who promises to never despise a broken and contrite spirit.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105

Look upon my suffering and rescue me,
for I have not forgotten your instructions.
¹⁵⁴ Argue my case; take my side!
Protect my life as you promised.
¹⁵⁵ The wicked are far from rescue,
for they do not bother with your decrees.
¹⁵⁶ Lord, how great is your mercy;
let me be revived by following your regulations.
¹⁵⁷ Many persecute and trouble me,
yet I have not swerved from your laws.
¹⁵⁸ Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart,
because they care nothing for your word.
¹⁵⁹ See how I love your commandments, Lord.
Give back my life because of your unfailing love.
¹⁶⁰ The very essence of your words is truth;
all your just regulations will stand forever.
Psalm 119:153-160

Lyrical Friday - Reign In Us

Hi Everyone! So glad to be back.
My laptop was with the Geek Squad this week and it is so nice to have it back. It's increadible how much time can be consumed on a computer. I devoted more time to praying, reading, writing, cleaning, cooking and baking. I read so much. It was wonderful.

Two very awesome scriptures that I read this week are found in Isaiah 35:

Stregthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.

Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear! Behold your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you!" (verses 3-4)

These two verses speak boldly to me what we as Christians ought to be doing: strengthening, making firm and encouraging those who are discouraged, anxious and fearful with the hope that is within us- the hope of Jesus Christ. May we never be silent Christians, who are found living a mundane, quiet and fruitless life. Be salt & be light!

Today is Lyrical Friday and there is one song that has been playing over and over in my head for the past week. Reign In Us by Starfield is this week's lyrical song. For my birthday this year I desired one thing, to celebrate in the presence of the Lord honoring Him. A group of ladies came to my house and we spent a beautiful time in worship and prayer. When the time for communion came around Aimee played this song. As you read the lyrics, allow the words to saturate your heart and surely these words in no time will be flowing from your lips as a sweet smelling aroma unto the Lord as you cry out to Him.
Be blessed and may you find all your satisfaction in God alone!

Reign In Us, Starfield


You thought of us before the world began to breathe
You knew our names before we came to be
You saw the very day we fall away from you
And how desperately we need to be redeemed

Lord Jesus, come lead us
We're desperate for your touch

Oh great and mighty one
With one desire we come
That you would reign
That you would reign in us
We're offering up our lives
A living sacrifice
That you would reign
That you would reign in us

Spirit of the living God fall fresh again
Come search our hearts and puify our lives
We need your perfect love
We need your discipline
We're lost unless you guide us with your light

Lord Jesus, come lead us

We're desperate for your touch

Chorus
Oh great and mighty one
With one desire we come
That you would reign
That you would reign in us
We're offering up our lives
A living sacrifice
That you would reign
That you would reign in us

We cry out for your life to revive us, cry out
For your love to define us cry out
For your mercy to keep us
Blameless until you return

So reign please reign in us

Come purify our hearts
We need your touch
Come cleanse us like a flood
And set us out
So the world may know you reign you reign in us
