Praise God for Change — Pray to God for Change!

 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”  And they praised God because of me.
Gal. 1:23 - 24

   This scripture encouraged me this morning.  Look around and see the lives changed by God's intervention.  See that life?  It once was in darkness but now is walking in light.  The life that once reveled in wrong now delights in right!  That is a miracle!  God's power displayed in frail vessels of clay, redounding to His glory and the good of His people.  We should praise God for conversions!  Praise Him for change!

   But I was encouraged by this as I read it to pray for change!  God is mighty!  He, who was able to change a church-hating Saul of Tarsus into a stalwart Apostle and bond-slave of Jesus Christ, can certain still change sinners into saints.  

   Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest.  Not just for workers to go out, but pray to Him that there would be harvest!  Miraculous harvest!  Abundant harvest!  Harvest that will redound again to God's glory and the good of His church.
