Our readings in this series are from the book, Revived! Here is a brief excerpt from page 58:
“But what does it look like when God arises? What did the psalmist [Ps. 102] want God to do, and how would he know when God’s favor had returned to His people?
“The psalmist believed that God would answer his prayers. It is certain that God will not arise to revive and renew us, much less to awaken the world to His salvation and glory, until His people recognize their need, repent, and call on Him in prayer. Once we do begin to pray, it is an indication that God has begun His reviving work, and thus we should be encouraged to continue praying, and to pray even more fervently.
“God can rebuild His city. He can take all the seemingly insignificant dust, and all the broken stones, and renew them in His glory, so that the nations will see and fear the Name of the LORD.”
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.
