Message from Scripture: 9/23/2020

Our message from Scripture today is Psa. 85:6. ^“Will you not revive us again so that your people may rejoice in you?”

At some point in everyone’s life, we all need to be renewed and encouraged, to be reminded of our blessings, of the life we have to live, of our potential to live as we should and reach for new heights. It’s easy to allow the world to intrude and rob us of our joy and dedication to spiritual living. What can we do to rededicate ourselves to living out spiritual principles in every aspect of our lives?

We can remember better days. The psalmist said, “You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin (85:2). God is the God of recurring opportunities, each day giving us another opportunity to surrender to His love.

We can pray for the present. The psalmist here prayed, “Show us Your lovingkindness, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation” (85:7). If we change our attitude and seek God’s forgiveness, turning back to Him brings His blessings and our joy once more.

We can anticipate future blessings. The psalmist looked forward to being able to say, “I will listen to what God will say; surely the Lord will declare peace to his people, His faithful ones, and not let them go back to foolish ways” (85:8). Every day is an opportunity for renewal, to return and seek God, to find His abundant blessings once more and have complete confidence in our lives and where they will lead.

Isn’t it wonderful knowing God wants to bring us renewal? No matter what stage in our lives, God goes with us to bless us. Let’s rejoice that He’s with us at all times to bless, help, and secure our lives in Him. We can truly say, with God, we will have a great day. God bless.
