“Restoring The Altars” I Kings 18:20-46 ESV
Sometimes when it comes to revival, we like to imagine how WE think God should do it and end up expecting that He’ll do it that exact way. But just like all throughout the Bible, God knows best and is more concerned about our hearts than anything else. He always calls His people to a humbled attitude and to present themselves fully surrendered to Him. Jesus wants us to lay down anything that is pulling us away from Him on the altar of "dying to self." THAT is when revival begins - when all we truly want is Jesus.
Reflection Questions:
Where do you tend to struggle the most when it comes to trusting God in your life? Why is that?
What steps can you take to trust Him more?
Is there anything you are holding onto that God is asking you to surrender to Him? What things are "weighing you down" in your faith and keeping you back from experiencing all that Jesus wants for you? Give it to Him TODAY and lay it down on His altar.
