Re:Verse passage – Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19 (day two). O Lord God of hosts, restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. v. 19
A few weeks ago we had the joy of celebrating combined worship in the Sanctuary. Those are always special moments in the life of our church. Without question one of the most powerful takeaways from that day was hearing the congregation sing “Revive Us Again.” We have heard Pastor Chris speak of his prayer for a revival for several months, and this text is a reminder that the Lord can, indeed, revive us. The first week of Advent is a reminder of the Hope that we have in and through Jesus. There are so many images and metaphors reminding us the light overcomes darkness every time. When the Lord shines his face upon us, we cannot help but reflect that radiance. Think of how refreshed you feel when you step outside and feel the sun on your face. This is the renewal we need. Lord, let your son shine on us, and may we be restored to go and share this light with the world.
