We have been singing the song lately that Says, "Greater things have yet to come, Greater things are still to be done in this city... We believe. There is no one like our God." I have sung this song with great anticipation and zest, as a declaration that God is at work, or maybe believing that God will be even more at work in the future than he already is now. This song stirs in me high hopes for the future and makes me believe that a mighty movement will happen that will stir in the hearts of Canadians drawing them towards the Fatherheart of God. I believe this to be true; however, today I had a real revelation and a new prayer associated with this song.
I pray that I would see the great things of God NOW- in the present.
I pray that I would see who God is and how he is at work IN OUR MIDST.
I pray that these Great things I see would point me towards knowing and understaning GOD'S CHARACTER.
I pray that I would have the ability to see God's HAND working through people who are being transformed by him.
I pray that I would be able to recognize that the small things are the in and of themselves the great things.
I pray that in my lifetime, in this year, in this month, in this day, I would actually look for what is going on and distinguish them as great things that God is doing.
I pray that I would share with others the GREAT things God is doing in my life. I pray that I would ask poeple what Great things God is doing around them.
I pray that I would have UNVEILED eyes, ready to see God.
I pray that I would wake up knowing that God is UP TO SOMETHING.
I pray that I would not undermine what I consider to be the ordinary.
I pray that I would begin to see how God's greatness is displayed in a variety of ways.
What does it mean for great things to be done today?
What does it mean for God's character to be revealed to me, my friends, my communities, this city, the larger society and what are the implications of this?
How will my life look when I approach life knowing that these lyrics are for today! What will it look like if I look for these Greater things?
What does it mean that God is AT work? What does it mean for God's will to be done in the present? How can this song be song to refelct a larger picture of what God has done and is continuing to do (past, present, future)?
But keep in mind that the greatness of God is not determined by the things that we see. His manifestatons are not him. Just as what we do is not who we are. Even if God did nothing- what would his character be? So what are the characteristics of God? Tell me about his Greatness.
