Key Verse:

“But to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit,

and trembleth at my word.”

— Isaiah 66:2

Rooted Truth:

Revival comes when the heart bows low and trembles again before the Word of God.

Faith Story:

In 1907, revival broke out in Korea—not through preaching or planning, but through brokenness. During a prayer meeting, a church leader stood and confessed publicly, “I have harbored hatred in my heart.”

One by one, others followed, weeping and repenting. That night, pride was crushed, hearts were cleansed, and the Spirit of God fell mightily.

True revival always begins with trembling—when the weight of God’s holiness meets the humility of man’s heart.

We tremble not out of fear of punishment, but from awe of His purity, His truth, and His presence. In a world that treats God’s Word casually, revival begins when believers hold it with reverence again.

The closer we get to the flame, the more we feel the heat.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Psalm 34:18 – “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”

Ezra 9:4 – “Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel…”

Philippians 2:12–13 – “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you…”

Daily Practice:

Before reading Scripture today, pause and pray:

“Lord, let me tremble at Your Word.”

Read a passage slowly and reverently, as if hearing His voice fresh again. Let awe return where routine has crept in.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, break the hardness of my heart and restore a holy reverence for You. Let me tremble at Your Word—not in terror, but in worship. Revive in me a spirit that bows low before Your greatness. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• Have you lost the sense of awe and reverence for God’s presence or Word?

• What does it mean to “tremble” before God in daily life?

• How does humility prepare the way for revival in the heart?
