Lockdown 693

Lockdown Day 693- 17 February 2022
The word revive means to regain life, consciousness or strength or to give new energy or strength. It also means different things to different people.

To some, being revived is a glass of ice cold homemade lemonade on a hot day, and to others it can be an activity that revives them.

The human body, soul and spirit are also revived by different things, but the effect is always energising. 

For me, today's swim in the ultra flat 13°C ocean revived me on all levels. My body cooled down and fell into a rhythm, my mind(soul) was fed while watching a huge school of shiny fish and my spirit soared because I felt alive and stronger than ever.

It made me think about spiritual revival. The kind believers hope for and talk about. Essentially a spiritual revival is something the mind, body and spirit can benefit from. Just like exercise improves heart-lung health, spiritual revival strengthens the breath the Almighty breathed into our lungs.

Choosing revival in your own life may mean an extra 5 minutes of quiet time, getting up earlier or making an effort to look up the presence of God a little earlier in the morning.

So make the decision to regain life by engaging the Giver and Creator of life, the strong One who strengthens our spirit, mind and body. Because He's our original Source. And because He's got this.
