REVIVAL

“Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?”

Psalms 85:6 KJV

One of the definitions I found for revival in Webster’s Dictionary is “To recover new life or vigor”.  It is impossible for God to revive us if we have never been on fire for Jesus.  Many years ago when my pastor would ask for volunteers, I would not raise my hand or stand up.  How I must have hurt God.

Pastor William Paton Mackay wrote “Revive Us Again”. 
”Revive us again; Fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled With fire from above.”  We sing this hymn but again if we have never been on fire for Jesus, how can we be revived?  It should be the desire of every Christian to serve Jesus.

Heavenly Father, I’m so sorry for hurting You when I just stayed in my seat when my pastor asked for volunteers.  Thank You for giving me the privilege of serving Jesus.  I pray for every person who is lonely, discouraged and heartbroken.  Please comfort and encourage them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
