Chile

Jackie and I went to bed last night praying for Chile.

We had stayed up late watching the first miners get rescued and be greeted by children and spouses. We had watched the flywheel stop, signaling that the rescue module had reached the 2000+ foot depth and we had seen it go into reverse hauling its precious cargo of heroic human beings to the surface. And we were filled with awe at the resuer who put his life on the line to go down and be with the trapped miners. An epic story of endurance, commitment and the preciousness of life.

And we were noted with joy the references of various of the freed miners to "God"...God was with us, there was one more than all of us down there. And we speculated a bit about the seeming wellbeing of the miner and what incredible difference the God presence made. (And this morning I heard that along with the supplies sent down to sustain life were guitars....hmm, to help them sing what songs?)

And so we prayed this way: God, raise up these miners who have stories to tell of Your faithful presence, even in the heart of the earth. And would you use this amazing story to bring a major revival to Chile and to the Americas? Let their words and simple faith bring release and spiritual rescue to many all across the world.

Let's watch this and keep in prayer.

For a Biblical parallel read Jonah chapter 2.

It is truly a day of joy and promise.
