Key Verse:

“O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid:

O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years,

in the midst of the years make known;

in wrath remember mercy.”

— Habakkuk 3:2

Rooted Truth:

True revival always bears visible fruit—transformed hearts, renewed love, and restored obedience.

Faith Story:

During the Second Great Awakening in America, revival meetings didn’t just fill churches—they changed communities. Bars closed, debts were repaid, families reconciled, and even crime rates dropped.

Revival didn’t stay inside the walls of the church—it overflowed into everyday life.

Habakkuk’s prayer captures the heartbeat of revival: “Revive Thy work… in wrath remember mercy.” When God revives His people, mercy flows, holiness deepens, and the world sees the difference.

The fruit of revival is not emotional excitement—it’s lasting transformation. It’s the restored marriage, the forgiven enemy, the repentant sinner, the believer who finally walks in joy again.

When the fire truly falls, love, mercy, and righteousness always follow.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

John 15:8 – “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”

Isaiah 32:15–17 – “…until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high… and the work of righteousness shall be peace.”

Matthew 3:8 – “Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance.”

Daily Practice:

Ask God to show you what “fruit” He wants to grow in your life from this season of revival—maybe forgiveness, renewed prayer, restored relationships, or deeper holiness. Write one down and act on it today.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, let revival in me produce real fruit. Change what needs changing, renew what’s grown weary, and let others see Your life in mine. Revive Your work in me, and through me, let mercy overflow. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• What visible fruit has come from your times of renewal or repentance?

• How can you carry the fire of revival into your relationships and community?

• What would it look like for your life to “revive His work” this week?
