Before we get going on Revive Our Hearts today, I want to take just a moment to honor my longtime friend,

Kay Arthur, who as of last week is now worshiping in the presence of our Savior.

Kay has been a sweet source of encouragement to me ever since the beginning of revive our hearts. I've learned so much from

her, and I'm deeply grateful for her life and her ministry. And I know that many of our listeners

have also been blessed by Kay's teaching, her books and Bible studies, many, many of them, and the

ministry of Precept. If you know anything about Kay, you know that her love for God's

word was infectious. And here at Revive Our Hearts, we experienced that when she was a guest on this

program. Application is, how are you going to change your thinking to line up with what the word

of God says? And how are you going to order your life

so that you walk the walk you talk?

And when she spoke at true woman events.

Man does not live by bread alone,

but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.

A few years ago at our most recent True Woman conference, Kay joined me on the platform.

She was almost 89 years old at the time, and I asked her how God's character and his word

had provided encouragement in her life. Here's some of what she had to say.

His word is a strong tower. And so any time that I have a need, I run to the word of God. I ask God,

show me what I need to know. Show me what I need to do. And then I wait upon the Lord.

But the more you've studied the Word of God, the easier it is. And of course, making it easier to

study the Word of God is what Kay Arthur and Precept Ministries have been all about. I'm so thankful for the life of

this precious woman, and I know many of our listeners are as well. Maybe you're one of them.

So let's thank the Lord for her now, and then we'll hear today's edition of Revive Our Hearts.
