An Ordinary Person in Extraordinary Times

"The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him."

— 2 Chronicles 16:9

In the world of changing morals and a worldview based on deception and pleasure, I wonder if it is at all possible for revival.

The world, as some would say, is going to "Hell in a hand-basket." And during this time of great challenges, it is not the time to become complacent and lukewarm. The world has yet to see what God can do, and those of us that are totally committed to him will be the vessels that revival shall come through.

The Book of Acts is about ordinary men and women doing extraordinary things because they allowed God to have His way in their lives. In the same way, God wants to use us to turn this ailing world upside down for Christ.

The world is trying to change us, discredit Jesus Christ, and convince you that you can't make a difference. The world wants you to believe that it is too late, the train has left the station, and you were not on board.

We must place it in His hands, and ask Him to use us.

The world has yet to see what God can do through His Church - Are we up to the task? Do we wish to be the people that He uses to usher in a revival?

One of these days our lives will end and the shells we reside in will be buried in the earth. Our lives on Earth will be ended. What will those we leave behind say of our lives? What will we say of our own time spent here on Earth?

How great it would be if we could say, after it is all over, like Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful" (2 Timothy 4:7).
