quicken — to make alive; to revitalize; to keep living

Some days I feel so run down — either physically exhausted or spiritually weak or emotionally discouraged or mentally fragile or morally vulnerable.

And some days I feel all of that.

Then I need quickening.

The last 36 hours or so have been that way.

So guess what I uncover this morning in Psalm 119:145-160!

“Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment” (149).

“Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word” (154).

“Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments” (156).

“Consider how I love thy precepts; quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness” (159).

So…when I am feeling run down, I should call out to Him. But I rarely think of that!

And…when I am feeling run down, I should turn to His Word. But I rarely think of that either!
