Revived

I am road-tripping today, relishing a time of rest and refreshment with family.

The past few years have pressed hard, with bruises lingering. This getaway seems a kind invitation from God to rest mind, body, and soul.

Have you ever faced arduous seasons when it has been impossible to take a physical sabbatical? During those trying stretches, I have learned to echo the psalmist’s words:

This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me.

-Psalm 119:50 (NASB)

We may be revived by the Bible, God’s voice.

Isn’t that a wonder?

September is coming, Lord-willing, and as autumn’s chill blows in on a breeze, swirling with both adventure and startling schedules, I plan to slip into a soft hoodie, lengthen my morning walks, and return home to pen fresh stories.

In the meantime, as summer’s heat hums its swan song, I invite you to tune in to my conversation with Adam Miller from Songtime Radio. I pray our words encourage you today.
