You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. It sent out its branches to the sea and its shoots to the River. Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it.
Lord, the story of Your Church is a story of Your revivals. From the very beginning in Palestine to the present day, Your Spirit has been unleashed to convict of sin and bring the lost into Your fold. Each is a story of Your Grace and needs to be brought to the attention of today's Church to instruct us.
