The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth… Micah 1:1
If you had lived at the time of King Ahaz, you would probably have felt everything was lost. But God did a new thing through King Hezekiah.
You can apply this to any great crisis in your family, your business, or your nation: God can bring a great revival from the worst disaster. A resurrection can only happen when something is dead. And God has a way of stepping in when there seems to be no other hope.
You never see this more clearly than when Jesus is on the cross. The life was draining out of Him, and for those who were watching, all hope was gone. A soldier pierced His side, blood and water flowed out, and He was pronounced dead. So, they took Him down, wrapped His body, and laid Him in a tomb. His followers were left to grieve over what might have been.
But on the third day, He rose from the dead. The God who can do this is a God worth knowing! And knowing Him is the beginning of hope. He is the living God, and you never know what He is going to do next. When it seems that everything is lost, He steps in.
If you are in the worst of times, start watching to see what God will do. God can bring a great revival from the worst disaster, and when you know this, it will give direction to your prayers.
Does it feel like you are in the worst of times today?
