This is my comfort in my affliction, That Your word has revived me and given me life.
Dear Ones: This is my Comfort! When we are afflicted in some way we desire to be comforted and cared for. The psalmist tells us that His Word has power to revive us in these times. His Word is filled with His life, strength, and healing virtue. Psalm 119:11 declares what we should do, “Your word I have hidden in my heart…” The Word of God is not only medicine for the soul but also for the body.
Whatever challenges you are facing, there is comfort and healing to be found in His Word. Hide the Word in your heart through reading it, speaking it, and meditating on it. Personal revival is started this way. Your spirit, soul, and body are refreshed by this practice, too. Verses like this one are like prescriptions from Heaven to help you resist whatever is attacking your body, soul, and spirit. Be as diligent to feed on His Word as you do with medical prescriptions. You will be refreshed with His life.
May you declare that “this is my comfort” when you read His Word. Take your daily dose of His Word and hide it in your heart. This is the way to start your personal revival and receive His life-giving strength. It is a good day to fill your heart with His Word and His power. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
