Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Quel est le dieu de notre culture et de notre nation ? Certes, notre Dieu est l'Éternel, Yahweh, Roi d'Israël et Rédempteur des perdus. Il est Roi de toutes les nations. Mais il n'est pas nécessairement le Dieu de notre nation. Nous sommes loin d'être "une seule nation sous Dieu". Mais nous pouvons prier pour que le réveil balaie notre pays. Nous pouvons nous repentir de ne pas l'avoir placé en premier dans nos propres vies. Il a promis de répondre si nous nous humilions et le cherchons. Faisons cela dès aujourd'hui !
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Each of us needs to ask ourselves: "Who or what is the god of our culture and nation?"* Certainly, our God is the Lord, the King of Israel and Redeemer of the lost. He is the King of all nations, yet he is not always valued as God in our nations. In the hearts of all people, we are far from "one nation under God," but God is Lord of all nations. So, we can pray for revival to sweep our lands. We can repent for not placing him first in our own lives. He has promised to respond if we humble ourselves and seek him as a people, a church, and a nation (2 Chronicles 7:14). So, let's commit to humbling ourselves as we come to God in prayer, and then invite others to join us, to meet Jesus, to know our Father, to be filled with the Spirit, and to be made one with the "ruler of the Kings of the earth" (Revvelation 1:5).

Ma Prière...
Éternel, Dieu des cieux et Père de toutes les nations, je m'humilie devant Vous aujourd'hui, reconnaissant mon propre péché et le péché de mon peuple. Je prie pour que Vous nous fassiez revivre par la puissance de votre Parole et la puissance sanctifiante de votre Esprit. Apportez le renouveau et la renaissance à notre terre. Au nom de Jésus et par la puissance de l'Esprit, je demande ceci. Amen.
My Prayer...
Lord, God of the heavens and Father of all nations, we humble ourselves before you today, acknowledging our personal sins and the sins of our people. We pray that you will revive us by the power of your Word and through the sanctifying power of your Spirit. Please bring renewal and revival to our land so that you can be glorified, and so peoples that you love can come to you through Jesus and be one. In the name of Jesus, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we ask this. Amen.
