A Revival for God’s Glory

PRAY OVER THIS

“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10

 

PONDER THIS

hy do you want revival? Do you want it for your own sake? Do you want it for your family’s sake? Do you want it for your denomination’s sake? Do you want it for your church’s sake? Do you want it for your nation’s sake, or do you want it for God’s sake? Is our prayer the one Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth…”?

It’s not that God is not concerned about our personal needs. We can pray for our daily bread. We can pray about our trespasses. But first, we are to pray for the glory of God. When we begin to pray for the glory of God, God moves in. But God has said clearly that He will not share His glory with another. (See Isaiah 42:8.)

What comes to mind when you hear the word revival?

When you pray, are you most often seeking God’s glory or something of your own?

PRACTICE THIS

Make a list of things to pray that will be for God’s glory. Use this list each morning to continually put your focus back on Him.
