April 5th

Malta has lots of stunning views of cities or villages as seen from above, like this view of Marsaxlokk. I love to pray over the cities as I sit and soak up the sun and the scenery. One thing the Lord has been impressing on my heart recently is that I need to back up my prayers with actions. As I contend for His presence the Lord has been asking me "Mark, are you willing to bring my presence here?" A lot of times the answer is no. I am more focused on my own satisfaction and comfort than I am what the Lord wants. I have had to come to terms with the fact that man's natural condition is a cold heart, but praise be to God, our Redeemer who engraved that rock with His finger to show us His Law, and who turns our hearts of stone to hearts of flesh! Revive Your people, Lord!
