The normal Christian life is one of constant and continual revival.
While longing for a global revival to sweep the earth or a local revival to
touch our church, we can personally nourish our soul every day. We can grow
wise by the reading of God's Word, become enlightened by meditating on
memorized Scripture, learn to treat others with the tenderness of agape love,
and display the sweet traits of humility and confession. We can bolster our
spirits with hymns and songs, and we can comfort and strengthen our hearts by
reflecting on heaven and on things above.
For renewal to take place, we have only to study God's blessed Word and let it
do its work in our lives.
Regularity of devotion, this holiness of common
life... is a devotion that is the duty of all orders of Christian people. William Law
