Praise the LORD, O my soul! And all that is in me praise His Holy Name!

Amazing Opportunity

Look at the nations and watch – and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. Habakkuk 1: 5

 

I was reading this last night during an hour or prayer and worship for a team of Godly individuals traveling the world this summer spreading the famous name of Jesus. It has been such a privilege to be able to lift these people up in prayer this past week. I think that more has happened to me than what I could be possibly be doing for them. I have found that it has kept the Lord and the mission on my mind constantly so that my hour has taken on a lot more than my obligation for one hour. I love how I feel connected to the mission though it's taking place today half a world away. I love how connected I feel to the people of the area like being able to "see" them with my eyes closed. I love how the Lord has kept this movement on my mind. I also love how this has connected me to this church that I have grown to love so much in the past month. I have always enjoyed and received so much from this church that I have been attending for the past year but I have felt connected in such an awesome way lately through prayer on behalf of many with many.

My prayer time is late in the night, so I got the privilege of praying them awake this morning, praying for God to work mightily through them today as they got themselves ready for this big day today. Asking God to speak loudly to them so that his voice is all they hear and that they could truly lead God's way.

In Job 42:5 it says "My ears have heard of you but now my eyes have seen you". The Lord keeps showing me that I can see with his eyes the people in need of him. I tend to live a sheltered life, not being in the world much, I work from home, my daughter dances at a Christian dance school, we socialize with friends that we have met at church. But He says that I can still impact people in need of him through prayer like what has been happening this past week and will continue through the coming weeks. He gave me a glimpse of those people today when I closed my eyes in prayer, I saw young people milling around waiting, watching, wondering. I saw faces, like I was there among them.

It is an amazing opportunity to see what God is doing with my eyes wide open. So I too wait, watch, and wonder what is going on in these days for the Kingdom and I also get to be a part of it. It is such a privilege and such an honor given to me.

So watch the nations, something big is happening there. I am amazed at you, LORD.
