Psalm 119
E.R. debuted in 1994. Each week, episodes were filled with exciting, heart wrenching and dramatic events based in a Chicago hospital emergency room. The show often portrayed incredible measures taken as residents applied their medical school backgrounds to treat and save patients.
Well, there are times we all find other things that we might put first in our day to day lives. We may need some “healing” or “revival” in our own relationship with God. Eleven times in Psalm 119 it mentions some sort of revival. Terms like preserve, restore, spare, give, are mentioned throughout this chapter. In the darkest of hours you may not feel like His Word is enough. You may not feel like it is relevant to what you are going through or that God is near. You may have filled your time, your actions and your mind with everything but time in His word. If this feels somewhat familiar to you consider this: “Feelings follow correct behaviors and not the other way around”. God’s word is a foundation for us all. We need to turn to him and be in His word. Don’t expect a quick fix. Instead, prepare to be transformed by him being more present in our life. So when we stumble, we need to get back up again, be dedicated to reading his word and trust on his strength for a full recovery in our lives.
