Daily readings to help you see Jesus' light in your life
by Selwyn Hughes
"Keep Your Eyes on the Tide"
"Your troops will be willing on your day of battle '" (v.3)
-- For reading & meditation: Psalm 110:1-7
On this our final day we ask again: Has God something bigger for us
than we are at present seeing? I hope I have convinced you that He
has! How can we be open to receiving it? It comes at the precise
moment God appoints but it is carried down from heaven on the wings
of fervent believing prayer. Dr A.
T. Pierson said: "From the Day of Pentecost until now, there has not
been one great spiritual awakening in any land which has not begun in
a union of prayer though only among two or three, and no such outward
or upward movement has continued after such prayer meetings have
declined." Revivals are born in prayer and sustained by prayer. Just
as there are signs concerning the second coming, so there are signs
that the Lord is not far from reviving His whole Church. In the early
days of the Salvation Army in France, the eldest daughter of General
Booth, known by her French rank as the "Marechale", found herself at
one point in an extremely discouraging situation. She wrote to
General Booth asking for his advice, which came in these words: "Take
your eyes off the waves and fix them on the tide." I give you now
that same advice. Don't let your eyes become focused on the waves,
with their advances and retreats. Keep your eyes on the tide and ask
yourself: Is it rising? If you look with the eye of faith I think you
will see that it is. When it breaks I pray that it will not find you
or me unprepared, but that we shall be a people who are willing in
the day of God's power.
PRAYER:
Father, I don't know whether I will live to see a world-wide revival
but I want to live to experience a personal revival. Take me on from
this point to know You in a much greater way. In Christ's Name I ask
it. Amen.
