We just had a massive hurricane. There is much uncertainty in the world. There is loss and pain and the threat of war. Just for a moment let us assume that life is not all about happiness. Many reading this understand exactly what i mean. Let us assume that a quiet and comfortable world is not always the best environment for the plan of God to be fulfilled. Let us assume that REVIVAL comes when people seek God, and that people seek God far more diligently in times of uncertainty and tribulation. Let us assume that political turmoil, war and the persecution of the believer in history were the times when the church grew the most. Q: Do the times in which we live make more sense now – since we are praying so hard for revival in our country and the world? For some reason peace and prosperity lull most people into a spirit of complacency. Make no mistake, we all need to stay humble and thankful for every good day. We must pray and work for the good and the right and the just to be accomplished in our world. But remember – Jn 4:35 says “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” Be ready in these difficult times to help bring in the harvest of souls. May God protect us – as He uses these man made and Satan made times of personal and national peril to bring in the final harvest of those that will be His. May God bless and comfort us in our pain when it comes – and may He give us many more good days of refreshing and joy. Love Mel
