This is my comfort in my affliction, that Your word has revived me.
Psalm 119:50
There are many things in life that bring me comfort. My family, friends, pillows, food and so much more. But what brings me comfort when I am faced with affliction (a.k.a.: trouble, hardship, difficulty)?
As I was growing up I experienced a few accidents along the way. I have had stitches, broken bones and bruises. I found comfort from my pain with medicines and bandages. But those medicines and bandages could not relief emotional or spiritual troubles/pains/hardships.
When David says "Your word has revived me", it is a remembrance of God's promises. God's word is always true and can always be trusted. The reason we can be revived by Scripture is because it is the promise of God to us. He will give us peace, comfort, love, endurance and so much more as we need.
Knowing Scripture, is knowing the promises of God. Know them, trust them & live by them.
HIS life, HIS glory!
