You, Lord, will guide us. You will protect us from this generation forever. The wicked wander everywhere, and what is worthless is exulted by the human race. Psalm 12:7-8
“My Father is still working, and I am working also.” John 5:17
My words…
Sometimes I think this whole world is shopping for a handbasket in which to descend to hell, as if it’s their only alternative. Wow. What a way to begin a prayer. You know what I mean better than anyone. David knew also, so I’m in good company. Then, just when I think the handbasket store will sell out, You show up.
I have been uplifted to learn of pockets of spiritual revival across the world, the likes of which I have not witnessed in my lifetime. Thousands of Your disciples are marching peacefully along crowded urban streets and gathering on college campuses, witnessing and praying with any who don’t know You. And it’s working. Actually, You’re working. Throngs of those who are hungering and thirsting for righteousness (even when they don’t realize it) are shown where the true Bread of Life and Living Fountain reside. Jesus, Your light is chasing the darkness away. It’s as if You have taken me by the shoulders, given me a good shake, and cried, “Snap out of it! I’ve got this!”
I allow Satan’s triumphs to obscure Your work in the land of the living. Please forgive me. Not one soul is outside the boundary of Your love. Each one, even those who curse You or ignore You, is pursued by their Creator. It’s what loving Fathers do. So, it shouldn’t surprise me when evidence of Your victories erupts around me.
I pray this surge of revival will spread like wildfire. Guard this new generation of believers. Their faith is fragile, and the Evil One is on the prowl. And I pray the handbasket store will have a going-out-of-business sale.
