A Book of Love

Revival Readings for the New Year

by Dr. Paul Chappell

 

 

“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.”

 

Psalm 119:18

 

 

Revival will not come apart from the Word of God. This fact was recognized by Horatio Bonar, a Scotsman born in December of 1808. He served as the minister of many churches throughout Scotland. On the topic of Scripture, he said, “Have not our suspicious hearts darkened this book of light? Do we not often read it as the proclamation of a command to do, instead of a declaration of what the love of God has done?”

The Word of God is written to us as a love letter, full of “wondrous things” for us to behold. May we dig deeper into its pages and search to see all the love God has displayed toward us. May we read it each day and ask God to manifest to us His love. May it be more than a book of commands listing all that we should not do, but a book of love showing us what God has already done.

Take time right now to read God’s Word. Search the Scriptures and seek to know God more through reading His Word. Then, ask God to change you through what you read.
