The Reviving Word
2 Kings 22:8
And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD…


John Stuart Mill tells how that at one time he had lost all interest in life, every blossom of joy and hope withered, but the charm and thrill of life were restored to him by the reading of Wordsworth's poems. The gifted singer revived the weary, despondent philosopher. How much more shall the words of God which are "spirit and life" revive and gladden our souls!
