Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 119:25-32
This portion of the psalm focuses on the 4 th letter of the Hebrew alphabet daleth. It emphasizes the need for revival (the word “quicken”). True revival comes not from attending a meeting or being caught up in the enthusiasm of a crowd. Revival comes from the Word of God, the work of the Holy Spirit revealing through the Word those areas of our lives that need to be changed. When we come with a teachable spirit and a willingness to hear what the Lord says and to apply it immediately in our hearts, the marks of revival begin to take place.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 27 – “Make me to understand the way of Thy precepts: so shall I talk of Thy wondrous works.”
