Each year we have a theme to focus our attention on and this year’s theme is REVIVAL!
There are different kinds of revival, and we often think of the term in relation to a nation turning back to God. While that is true, before any national revival can take place, we need to experience personal revival. This is the awakening of God in our hearts — where we become more in tune with the Spirit’s direction and leading. We don’t need mountaintops for this — we need daily time spent with our Savior!
We need more people to come alive in Christ! The mundane normalcy of so many Christians can cause a dulling of our response to God. Not that faith has weakened — just going thru the motions of that faith, rather than holding on to the excitement of conversion. Can we generate some excitement in our relationship with the creator of the universe!? We need to in order to experience revival!
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
