We are totally dependent upon the Lord for success in any matter, but especially in building a godly house – both in our families and in our churches. After laying the foundation of the Lord in the home, we then consider the basic building block of both families and churches – our children. Children are an inheritance and reward from the Lord and we need to raise up children and shoot out our God-given arrows for the glory of God.

We need to follow the pattern of Habakkuk’s prayer for revival and mercy. In the midst of a time when God’s people were about to suffering severe judgment at the hand of the Chaldeans for their disobedience of God, Habakkuk was not discouraged, but he prayed for God to revive his work in the midst of these years that would be fraught with suffering for God’s people. We need to pray for God to revive his work in the midst of our years of suffering and tribulation as well.

When God’s people go astray, the Lord as our Loving Father sends chastising judgment to bring us to repentance. If we are suffering spiritual drought in our churches among God’s people, what is the remedy for that dry state? God gives us the recipe for revival – humility, prayer of confession, and repentance changing our actions. Then, God promises to hear our prayers, forgive our sins, and heal our land, to heal and strengthen our churches.

God is so big, powerful, majestic, and beautiful we cannot even comprehend Him. His ways and His thoughts are so much higher than our thoughts and ways, we cannot even begin to understand the mystery of God’s will. When we consider the majesty of our God, how is it even possible that God would even take notice of us, or even one passing thought of us? But God has not just thought of us, but he intimately knows us, knows even the thoughts and intents of our heart and understands all the paths and ways of our life.
