Clinging To The First Birth

My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to Your word. Psalm 119:25

The basis of revival is to revive and that is to cause to live again. We walk with our Lord Jesus here in the valley of death's shadow and we have this problem of clinging to the dust of our first birth. Some of it is necessity, eating and drinking and the other things of this life, while other things are a desire to break away from our Creator, in other words to sin. Is it any wonder that even those who believe in Jesus will need to be snatched away when the Lord returns? Against this carnal urge is the revival of our soul carried out constantly by the Spirit of God in us. How can we help with this? The psalmist asked for revival according to God's word. And there is the place we must go for the good news of Jesus and our revival. The word, the word! The word of God is to us a releasing of our clinging claws in the dust, a trusting in the Word Himself in place of what we think we know.

Come today to the Word and live again in Him!
