Habukkuk II
In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. (Habukkuk 3:2 ESV)
Revival
When it is time for me to lose weight, it starts with me.
When it is time for me to be frugal, it starts with me.
When it is time for me to improve my time management, it starts with me.
But revival does not start with me. We might think that revival, returning to God, redirecting our lives to Him, is first OUR responsibility, that turns out to be not the case.
Revival starts with God being merciful.
Revival, with church-wide, family-wide, or individually, starts with God being merciful.
Revival starts with God mercifully withholding His wrath, and changing our hearts.
THEN revival results.
May He bring revival in every area it is needed.
