Thought 215
God does
It. . . and we may not see the result
The world needs a great revival, but no man
or woman can make it happen. Only the
power of God brings revival; and only God can raise up the people to carry out
that revival. God will heal a land if His people humble themselves and pray,
right? But this doesn’t mean that amidst humbling yourself that you will see
the end result. We walk, we live, on faith and not by what we see. There have
been many faithful Christians have spent their lives on their knees praying for
revival and it did not come in their lifetime. We should not pray just because there
is a horrible president or a socialistic economy or the evil deeds of men; it
is about God and what He chooses to do through and with us, and what HE has
planned to do for our present world.
Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 (NIV1984)
For it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—Ephesians 2:8 (NIV1984)
