Rend the heavens

Read

¹ Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, ² As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! ³ When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. ⁴ For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Reflect

The prophet longs for God to 'rend the heavens' and come down as He did before. He also remembers that no one has seen a God like this, who acts for 'him that waiteth for him.'

Pray

God, I long to see you act in the places that feel stuck. Keep my hope alive while I wait for you. Amen.
