O Lord, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O Lord, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 – The prophet, in speaking with the Lord that had spoken to him, responds by saying he knows of the amazing work the Lord had done for His people over the many years. He knew how God had freed His people from Egyptian slavery, he knew how God had provided David to lead His people, He knew all the stories of the provisions in the wilderness. Habakkuk knew well these stories and knew well the power that God had, so he simply had one request of the Lord…do it again. Right now Lord, in our day, do what you did of old in the midst of your people. Revival came to you people then and revival is what we need now, so Lord do it again. Not only is Habakkuk’s prayer a righteous prayer to make, it also understood a powerful truth about revival. Revival is a God created thing, not something we make happen. We don’t revive any spirits, we don’t bring life to where there was only death. That’s the Lord’s doing alone. Let us then like the prophet remember the deeds of the Lord. How He came through for His people and how He brought salvation and revival. Then let’s ask Him to bring it again, to revive us again. Thankfully we serve a God powerful enough to bring us back to life always. Today being Christmas Eve, choose to remember the greatest gift the Lord gave us to revive our walk with Him. He gave us His own Son to save us from our sins. Thank you Lord for this amazing gift, now please revive our hearts again to follow you like you deserve. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3315
