I Want to See Your Glory!

Let's see it on February 1st!

I am sitting here, listening to Pandora, and felt a chill go down my spine as Let it Rain played. I have always loved this song. In the middle of this song, Michael W. Smith recites these words from Psalms:

The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
    let the distant shores rejoice.
² Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
³ Fire goes before him
    and consumes his foes on every side.
⁴ His lightning lights up the world;
    the earth sees and trembles.
⁵ The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.
⁶ The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
    and all peoples see his glory.

~Psalm 97:1-6

There are many songs based on Psalms, but this one gets me in a special place with God, and the emotion in the reciting (what Smith does is much more powerful than mere reciting, but I cannot think of the word to use) of the above verses gets me every time. How can one listen to this and not want to see God's glory? I want to see it. Do you?

Many of us have had a front-row seat to God's glory as we have experienced, heard about, read about, or otherwise followed the healing of Adam Root. Adam has defied doctors and doubters with his progress. He has surprised many by walking, talking, and even riding a bicycle! 

Amy, and my fellow prayer warriors have not been surprised. We are simply thankful. Thankful that God has heard our prayers and chosen to answer them with healing. Not an instantaneous healing, but a slow, methodical healing. In the case of Adam's recovery, it is as if God is slowly peeling away Adam's afflictions. Something tells me that God is using Adam to keep us disciplined in our prayers and faith.

While Adam is regularly in my prayers, it is time to rally folks together. Adam needs to reclaim his memory. So, let's join Amy in prayer on Friday, February 1st (see Please Join Us...) Let's lift Adam up, together, as we fast and pray for God to restore Adam's memory.

We will pray as we have in the past. Fasting is suggested, but not required. A devotional will be posted on the evening of the 31st, at each meal time on the 1st, and one more in the evening (read more details).

I look forward to praying with you on February 1st. Let's experience God's glory (and His healing power), together!
