“I live in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and lowly of spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the oppressed.” —Isaiah 57:15
Walk through any Christian bookstore and you’ll find an array of books and products offering to help you be successful in every dimension and season of life.
We have more tools and resources for our questions and hurts and needs today than any time in the history of the Church. Why, then, do so many Christians live frustrated, defeated, empty, barren lives? Deep down, many of us long to experience a greater reality of God’s presence and power in our lives. Our hearts need to be revived. But so few voices today are pointing us to the truth that will revive our hearts and set us free.
The Scripture is clear about the kind of heart God revives—one that is humble and broken. The secret is really no secret at all. It is interwoven as a thread all through the Word of God.
