Return to the River

by Sarah Stegall | Jun 14, 2010 | Bible Study

Sometimes our initial pursuit of revival brings reproach. We are tempted as King David was to set God aside. Those who truly hunger, however, will return and grow wiser.

READ: 2 Sam. 6; Is. 54:4-8; Jer. 24:4-7; Matt. 6:33; Heb. 10:23-25; Rev. 2:1-5.
HEART ISSUE: what point did you abandon the hope of revival? What issues do you need to settle to get back in the flow?

PRAYER FOCUS: Father, forgive me for allowing discouragement and confusion to quench my passion. Please renew my hunger and teach me how to hold onto You. Amen.
