Fantastic Friday #350- Revive

Revive

¹⁴ Return to us, O God Almighty!
    Look down from heaven and see!
Watch over this vine,
¹⁵     the root your right hand has planted,
    the son you have raised up for yourself.
¹⁶ Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;
    at your rebuke your people perish.
¹⁷ Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
    the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn away from you;
    revive us, and we will call on your name.

¹⁹ Restore us, O Lord God Almighty;
    make your face shine upon us,
    that we may be saved. Psalm 80:17-19
 

I read an article this week about a woman who has not and was not going to raise her kids with God.  I have thought how many people have said something like this in their lives, and how many of those people have changed their minds about who God is and given their lives to Him.  I also think of the people who don't change their minds, or haven't realized what He does for us daily who can't experience the full love of God.  I know that God is in control, because I have developed a strong faith in Him and what He is capable of, and that is "anything."  Many people like this woman can't see it because they are too focused on what they can do and what they control. I know that I can't do anything on my own, but I know that I can do anything with God on my side and a part of me.  One thing this woman said was that "God was not present."  If there are people who don't think God is present, then they haven't looked around lately, and they haven't seen how God influences every path we take, as long as we allow Him in our lives.  This week some people need to be revived, or you need to be revived, or you need to help God revive others.  Let God be present in your life and let him revive you.

Have a great weekend.
