If so, look what the passage says God will do for you through His Word: He will revive you, “revive me according to Your word”; strengthen you, “strengthen me according to Your word”; and enlarge your heart, “for You will enlarge my heart.”

When your world falls apart around you, you will be tempted to push God away in anger and become hard toward Him. But that is like pushing away medicine when you are sick! God, the Great Physician, wants to come and heal your soul. He will minister to you through His Word.

God’s message to you in this passage today is that He has given you His Word for just such a time as you are facing right now. In His Word you will hear His voice in your heart assuring you that He still loves you, helping you to see your valley from a new, higher, more positive perspective, revealing His purposes to you, strengthening and encouraging you, giving you hope. “This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.” (Psalm 18:30).

Why don’t you open your Bible right now and cry out to Him and say, “Lord, I need You and I need to hear from you.”

Pray this – Our Precious Heavenly Father, I need You and I need to hear from You. I know that even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil because You are with me. You are always with me. (Psalm 23:4). I am comforted by the fact that You never change and You are my refuge and my strength, and that every word of God proves true. I also know that You know exactly what I am going through and when You have tried me I shall come forth as gold. (Job 23:10). Father, Your Word is my covering. Your Word is my shield. Your Word gives me peace. Your Word guides me. Your Word counsels me. Your Word gives me joy. Your Word gives me strength. Your Word consoles me. Your Word feeds me. I have tasted and seen that Your Word is so good. Your Word is the delight of my heart. Your Word is my joy. Thank You for Your Word. In the Name of Jesus, the Living Word, I pray, Amen.
