Many of us enter the new year feeling tired and worn out, shaped by past disappointments that have conditioned us not to expect too much from God. The story of Jacob in Genesis 45:26-28 shows us what spiritual revival looks like - when Jacob heard Joseph was alive, his spirit was completely renewed. Revival means God restores life to what has grown weary in our souls, awakening faith and restoring expectation. We must stop living in the rearview mirror of past disappointments and instead see the future God has prepared. When vision returns, strength returns, and we're called to take action with our revived hearts, stepping forward in faith even without having all the details.
