Yesterday, Sunday, I was listening to a song from Robin Mark's CD entitled Belfast Revival. The title of the song is "Revival." You really, really ought to go to YouTube and search for either Robin Mark or Belfast Revival. It will crank your motor if you've got anything to crank.
Naturally, I listened to it several times in the past couple of days. This verse from Isaiah was used at the beginning of the song. It is sung slowly and passionately. In this intro, it winds up becoming a prayer. You really ought to listen to it.
As I meditated on it throughout today, I was reminded of a message I preached a couple of years ago from this very same verse. The meaning of the message came fresh into my soul and challenged me once more.
This passage tells me that I need to prepare a way for God to move in my life. It seems that it indicates that God is WILLING to move in me but He refuses to prepare the way. He leaves that up to me. The question is, how much do I want God to move and how willing am I to make the appropriate changes?
The prophet gives us a bit of insight at God's hint as to how much He will move. He plainly tells every believer that God's desire is to move in such a fashion that we would need a highway to safely allow God to navigate. To see it another way, go stand in any highway you want. All of them are bigger than you.
God's heart is to do something in our lives that is way bigger than we are. Can we see it? Are we earnest enough to begin our preparations for Him to be able to do what He wants?
