God’s Word for Revival

All the people assembled as one in the square before the Water Gate. They told Era the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel. Nehemiah 8:1

Bible Reading: Nehemiah 8

Immediately the wall was rebuilt, the need for a national revival was obvious. The people desired to obey the law of the Lord, and their zeal for God was restored. They listened to the word of the Lord from “early morning to noonday”; heads of houses learnt the law of the Lord from Ezra, and they celebrated the feast of booths joyfully as in the time of Joshua. Importantly, our zeal and passion for the Lord can only continually be on fire when we seek God and dwell in the secret place of the Most High (Psalm 91).

Dear friends, meditate on God’s word because it can revive a soul. No wonder the Lord asked Joshua to meditate on the law of the Lord day and night (Joshua 1:8). If Joshua did not, he would have been disconnected from His source (God). He would have been terrified and unable to complete the mission of leading the children of Israel to the Promised Land.

Action Point: start investing your time in the daily study of God’s word.

Daily Confession: Lord thank You for Thy word that is my source. I am revived by Your word and I remain steadfast in You in Jesus name.

Intercessory prayer: Pray for God’s mercy upon our world today and that righteousness will be exalted in all corners of the earth.

Hymn: O Word of God incarnate,

O Wisdom from on high,

O Truth unchanged, unchanging,

O Light of our dark sky,

We praise Thee for the radiance

That from the hallowed page,

A lantern to our footsteps,

Shines on from age to age.
