Spiritual Vitality

From: Bayless Conley Ministries

 

Psalm 119:105 "Your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path."

 

It is not unusual for someone who becomes physically sick to lose their appetite. But if they're going to recover, they have to eat. The same is true when someone is sick spiritually. They lose their appetite for spiritual things. They lose their appetite for the Word of God.

At least three times in Psalm 119, the psalmist tells us that one of the ways God will revive you when you are spiritually weak is through His Word. In verse 25 he says, "My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to Your Word." In verse 107 he says, "I am afflicted very much; revive me, O Lord, according to Your Word." And then in verse 154 he says it again, "Plead my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your Word."

The more you feed on God's Word, the more you hunger for it. As you feed upon His Word, it will give you more life, it will give you more strength, and it will give you spiritual vitality.
