Quickened by the Word

Quickened by the Word.—In his affliction, the psalmist found life-giving power in God's word, for he says: "This is my comfort in my affliction; for Thy word hath quickened me." And again, "My soul cleaveth unto the dust; quicken Thou me according to Thy word." Ps. 119: 50, 25. In our afflictions, we may find in God's words the very strength, the very help, the very consolation, and the power that we need, power to rise above difficulties, power to conquer discouragements, power to succeed in spite of every affliction that the conditions of this evil world may bring upon us. God's word is a veritable citadel of strength to the individual who has learned to trust it.
