The Word Renews
"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise." - Psalm 19:7
There are days when your faith feels weak. Days when your energy is gone, your spirit feels tired, and your motivation has all but disappeared. You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re just running on empty. And the truth is, we all get there at some point.
But here’s what many miss. You don’t need a vacation to feel rested. You don’t need a breakthrough to feel hopeful. You don’t need everything to work out before your spirit can be restored. God has already given you the key to renewal. It’s His Word.
Spending time in Scripture is not about religious obligation. It’s about restoration. When you open the Bible, you are not just reading an old book. You are being filled with the living Word of the living God. You’re hearing His voice. You’re absorbing His truth. And as you do, something begins to shift inside you.
Your soul starts to breathe again. Your faith begins to rise. Your perspective starts to clear up. The things that weighed you down an hour ago begin to lose their grip. That’s what the Word does. It renews you in ways nothing else can. Not because of the paper and ink, but because of the power behind it. The Holy Spirit works through the Word to bring you back to life.
If you feel tired, cracked, distant, or spiritually dry, there is no shortcut, no hack, no secret apart from this. Open the Word. Make time for it. Sit in it. Let it speak. You don’t have to force it. Just show up and let God do the renewing. The same voice that formed the heavens still speaks through His Word today.
