Good Morning Friends,
“A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. ‘LORD, I
have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in
our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.’” (Habakkuk
3:1-2)
History contains the accounts of some
marvelous works of God: the flood, the birth of Isaac to two very old parents,
the deliverance of Israel from Egypt through Moses, manna and quail from heaven,
water flowing from a rock, the sun standing still to give Israel more time to
win a battle, David killing Goliath, Daniel in the lions’ den -- and those are
just a few of the miraculous deeds God did that are recorded in the Old
Testament. Those, and many others, are the acts Habakkuk thought about as he
prayed.
There are more that are recorded in the New
Testament: the healings Jesus did, walking on water and calming storms, feeding
5000 with a small lunch, raising Lazarus, His own resurrection and ascension,
Pentecost, His miraculous intervention in Saul’s life on the road into Damascus
-- and we could go on.
There are many more that are not recorded in
the Old or New Testament, that have occurred since those books were closed to
new accounts. God still heals. God still answers prayer. God still intervenes
in the lives of His people. God has stopped whole nations, turning hearts to
Him, bringing revival. God has transformed countless lives in astounding ways.
Which miracles of God would you like to see
repeated in our own time? Personally, I’d like to see another revival like some
that I’ve read about, even in American history -- thousands of people, whole
towns, turning to the Lord. The society being transformed by what God has done among
them. We could sure use that!
Have you prayed Habakkuk’s prayer for our own
time?
His, by Grace,
Steve
