Restored to Our Salvation - Psalm 85:1-9

The psalmist was asking God to revive his people, bringing them back to spiritual life. God is capable of reviving both churches and individuals. He can pour out his love on us, renewing our love for Him. If you need revival in your church, family, or personal spiritual life, ask God to give you a fresh touch of His love.

Sometimes our trouble or pain is so great that all we can do is cry out to God for protection. And often, when there is no relief in sight, all we can do is acknowledge the greatness of God and wait for better days ahead. The conviction that God answers prayer will sustain us in such difficult times.

"Nowhere among the pagan gods is there a god like you." The God of the Bible is unique! He is alive and able to do mighty deeds for those who love Him. All human-created deities are powerless because they are merely inventions of the mind, not living beings. The Lord alone is "worthy...to receive glory and honor and power" (Revelation 4:11). Although people believe in many gods, you need never fear that God is only one among many or that you may be worshipping the wrong God. The Lord alone is God.
