Revive Me

Ps. 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou salt stretch forth thy hand…and thy right hand shalt save me.


“Thou wilt revive me…” not as if I have died, or even would be allowed to fall that far…for though and just precisely when my heart has fainted within me, the Good and faithful Shepherd will reach out and restore me. In those moments I will have known both the depth of my own helplessness, and the power of resurrection: restoration by the love of an Incomprehensible God.

He will not let me fall, and even greater still is His everlasting faithfulness…the promise He then gives to not only revive, but to sustain. And not just sustain…but cause to THRIVE!! He will perfect that thing which troubles me…though it takes dark roads and impossible circumstances to perform it. He will be faithful to complete the Good Work begun…whether by changing the circumstances, or perfecting me.

It may mean being broken entirely…but then I may once again be lifted by His restorative power; revived, and held and made to trust ever more deeply.
