Looks Like Rain

Outside my office it looks like it could rain any moment. I don’t suspect it will, but there is always hope. I don’t remember any rain in my gage since sometime in June. The prospects for trees and shrubs coming back next year are not bright.

I feel the same way about “revival” in the life of the Church. We have been so long without a really society shattering revival of God’s people that translates into significant numbers of people coming to faith in Christ, and revitalizing Church growth, that it is easy to think we will never see it again.

I know it will rain someday – at least it always has. I know a genuine supernatural move of God is possible – maybe even probable, since it has happened before in some of the worst of times. . .it’s just been so long.

I’m going to keep praying for rain. . .and real “revival.” I will be excited about both.
