Our lives are filled with millions of moment by moment decisions which really boil down to only two choices repeated over and over again. Which will you choose?

I want God to do something significant in our midst.

I want Him to interrupt our programming plans. I want Him to pour His Spirit out into our people leading to repentance, salvations, healings, life-change, humility, generosity, mercy and forgiveness the likes of which we have never seen. I really want God to stir up a reviving Spirit in our midst. We, of course, have no control over any sort of true work of God, but I have been thinking about what sorts of hearts are ripe for this sort of work.

If God began to stir in that sort of way in our midst, would we be ready? Would we be receptive? Would we stick around long enough to see it for what it really is?

Sometimes we just need a reminder of who is with us. When life beats us up, and when failure abounds, and when we are too scared and too ashamed to ski down the hill to face our own weak failures, then we too need to remember God’s Spirit has been promised to the church, and that He remains in our midst, which means we are never alone, and we never have truly justifiable reason for unbridled fear.
