Good Ol' Fashioned Revival

Jul 22, 2017    Chad Garrison

Revival...a renewal of interest in something that results in its becoming popular once more.

Psalm 103:2, "Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me."

Renew: the process of bringing somebody back to life, consciousness, or full strength.

Psalm 85:4 "Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!"

Refocus: the recovering of life, consciousness, or full strength.
Psalm 145:15, "The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it."

Rise Up: a new interest in religion, or the reawakening of such interest
Psalm 90:16, "Let us, your servants, see you work again; ket our children see your glory."

The psalmists approach GOD in HIS GLORY, yet still their humanity is allowed to bleed through. So what we get are writers who are like you and I in the highest of highs and the lowest of lows–yet, they have the presence of mind to recognize Who GOD is and respond to it appropriately, anchored in the HOPE only GOD can give.
