'The Day the Lord Has Made'
.
At any given moment there exists, at the doorway to the future, two
possible realities. The first realm is a darkened world born as a
consequence of sin. It's ongoing rebellion toward God, coupled with the
unredeemed events of the past, make this reality an extension of hell.
Here, conflicts and wars become more wide spread; in this realm,
morality degrades into depravity. Yes, and among those who would make a
difference, the grip of fear immobilizes their actions. It is of this
demonically manipulated world that the scripture tells us to walk
circumspectly for "the days are evil" (Eph. 5:16).
.
Yet, there is another reality, a different "day" that is also accessible
to mankind. This second realm is the "prayed for" version of the first
reality. It, too, stands ready to reveal itself. This realm is full of
miracles, heavenly reversals of evil plots, and divine intervention.
Here, sin is confronted, strongholds topple, and iniquity is redeemed by
the power of Christ. The enemy who came in one way, flees seven ways in
the brightness of this unfolding reality. Scripture has a name for this
realm as well. It is called "the day which the Lord has made," and we
are commanded to "rejoice and be glad in it" (Ps. 118:24). Since time
began, both of these realities have always existed. The Scriptures bear
witness to numerous occasions when people have cried out to God and
found the Almighty a willing ally in transforming their culture. When
the Israelites humbled themselves, repented and prayed, and sought again
the face of God, the Lord intervened, restored their land, and scattered
their enemies.
.
Yet, this promise was not for Israel only. Consider also the ancient
Ninevites. When they humbled themselves and embraced fasting and prayer,
the day of mercy dawned upon their culture as well. In just three days,
their entire city went from a people cursed to a people revived and
blessed. ========================================= Share From:
