Morning by Morning, February 9 - "Spring Up, O Well" of Revival!
Your light is best seen in darkness. Your hope rises in stark contrast to despair. And Your faith stands firm against every onslaught of doubt, unbelief, confusion, and fear. Those are the very conditions that make our hearts and our land ripe for revival!
We can choose what voices we hear, where we spend our time, who gets our attention. And many of the voices I'm hearing are speaking of revival! As I begin my day seeking to be centered in You, grounded in Your Word and filled with Your Spirit, what I'm hearing in my heart, from Your heart to mine, is a word I've heard You speak to me before:
"Spring up, O well!" ... "Spring up, O well of revival!" ... "Spring up, O well of all that's trying to be shut down and shut up, silenced and shamed, threatened and intimidated and sent away never to be seen or heard, despite all that's burning in our spirits with the Holy Fire of Revival!" ...
You're bringing to mind this Word of Scripture from the journey of Israel through the wilderness times. You commanded Moses:
"'Gather the people together, and I will give them water.' Then Israel sang this sing: "Spring up, O well! -- Sing to it!" (Numbers 21:16-17)
Your Holy Spirit is gathering Your people together -- across our land and throughout the earth, out of every tongue and tribe and nation. In these wilderness times we're facing in our world, You're gathering Your people to pray and proclaim Your goodness and grace, Your provision and power, Your faith and hope for what is about to come. Empower us to sing and shout, to decree and declare in the authority of Your name and in agreement with Your will: "Spring up, O well!" ... Spring up, O well of revival, O well of awakening, O well of salvation, O well of faith and hope and love, O well of the Living Waters bursting forth in the wilderness of our world and the desert of our despair! Spring up, O well!"
Your everlasting promise of hope is rising in my heart:
"The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing! ... They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God! (Isaiah 35:1-2)
So in the name of Jesus, we gather together in our hearts, in our nations, and in every place where we're feeling overwhelmed and wandering in the wilderness places of our world right now, where our spiritual enemy would want our spirits to dry up in a desert of despair. And together as one we speak to the well of the mighty Salvation of our God, "Spring up, O well! ... Spring up and flow forth with the Living Waters of the Holy Spirit! Bring new life to our land, new hope to our hearts! Revival! Awakening! Salvation and Harvest! The arising and shining of the Body and Bride of Christ, as the maturing sons and daughters of God, to be Your ambassadors and messengers of faith and hope and love in the midst of our world!
"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy! For waters shall break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert! ... The ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away! (Isaiah 35:5-10)
Yes, Lord, let it be so! Yes, Lord, let Your Well spring up! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
