Our readings in this series are from the book, Revived! Here is a brief excerpt from page 66:
“In the day of trouble, our psalm tells us, whatever that trouble may be, we must call on the Lord and continue to call, and increase our calling – asking, seeking, knocking, imploring, confessing our sins and repenting day by day – if we expect God to deliver us from the troubles that, more than ever today, threaten to put targets on the backs of believers everywhere.
“In short, we have not because we ask not. In the moral and cultural arenas, Christians have besought God to do many good and right things; and He has granted many of our requests in varying degrees. But we have not asked, knocked, or sought the one thing that makes true and lasting change; we have not called on the Lord for revival, renewal, and awakening.
“God promises to hear and deliver us in our times of trouble if we will make calling on Him our primary and constant effort.”
For a limited time, you can order Revived! together with the previous book in our Read Moore series, The Church Captive, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. And you can download a free discussion guide for both books.
