Uncover
my eyes
my eyes
so that I may see
the miraculous things in your teachings.
Psalm 119:18 (GW)
OH LORD MY GOD!
Revive me!
Reveal Yourself to me
In only the way that
You can
Show me Your power
In a way that will make me
Stand up straight
Take notice —
Nebuchadnezzar was awed
At the sight of You in that
Fiery furnace, and,
Like the king who threw
Daniel into the lion’s den
People stared in amazement
When Peter was at their gate
Instead of in jail —
Oh LORD!
How can I obtain knowledge
From You?
My King and my God!
I long for You to
Open my eyes, open my ears
Open my heart
Throw open Your gates and
Your Word!
That I may see, hear, understand
Know what You long for me
To do, to be, to write, to speak
Fixing my eyes on You, and
You only
Reveal Yourself to me
My ELOHIM!

Tears pooled in my eyes as
we sang during the invitation at the closing of the message. Just this
morning I had written the majority of this poem before leaving for church. The words in this poem have become such a prayer of my heart lately. I
was not even sure why this had come to mind this particular morning except that I have been so thirsty
for God lately.

Not just thirsty but absolutely longing (as in deeply
desiring) to feel God’s presence resonating in my soul. In my heart.

I will not tell you what God revealed to me during the
message at this time. Some things God wants us to keep between the two of us
until a time when He wants us to shout it from the rooftops*. But, I can tell
you this:

you this:
HE SHOWED UP BIG TIME!
As I sat listening carefully to the Lord and read the
account of Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22:1-19) with new eyes, I knew in my
heart God was telling me things that only He could reveal to me in a way that
made me sit up and take notice.

When was the last time you read God’s Word and it made your
heart quicken? You gasped for breath, took notice and hungered to hear more of
what He was saying to you in that moment?

May we fix our eyes on Jesus, seek Him first, and stand in
shear utter and amazement at what He is teaching us and revealing to us.

Scripture Verse from God’s Word Translation
Oh Marcie! This is wonderful. Your prayer is the prayer of my heart too. I want to KNOW the Lord, the walk with Him and talk with Him, and be filled to overflowing with the knowledge of His love. Thank you for touching my spirit today. I love you.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow sweet friend! Thank you for sharing this with me. Love you 🙂
I needed this today! Thank you!
I just google " reveal yourself to me Lord Jesus" and this was the first message that appeared on my screen. Thank you Jesus for revealing yourself to me!
Praise the Lord Yusuf! Thank you for sharing this with me. Blessings, Marcie 🙂
Did the same as yusuf and googled reveal yourself lord ,I’m in a situation that i had to sell my home and closes in 5 days and still lots of stuff to move and no place to go,i prayed on the 4th as i was having a breakdown with worry and Jesus made himself VERY known to me as i was crying out to him,it was like he was right there in front of me ,never have i had a experience like this and have since been praying for this same experience but have not but i do have a craving to learn and speak to him all day long. I need all the prayers i can receive, this is a HORRIBLE time in our life.
HI Scott,
I’m so grateful you are craving God and His word in your life. It’s the best craving to have. And we know that God answers the prayers of those who are truly seeking Him with all their heart. It’s so difficult to sit in God’s waiting room and wait for His answers and timing. I will be praying for you through this dark valley you are in. Just know that, God is with you. He has never left you and He won’t leave you now. Keep seeking Him and you WILL find Him! That is one promise I can make to you.
God bless,
Marcie 🙂
Psalm 32:7
I need God to reveal himself to me I am so lost
Dear Veronica,
I’m so sorry you feel so lost. I know how that feels. I’ve been there many times, even lately. I wish I could sit with you, pray with you, and give you a big hug. Focus on Jesus. Focus on trusting Him to help you find your way. This week’s blog post I’m about to post focus’s on Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path.” I hope you will be encouraged by it and find your way again as you seek God with all your heart. He will reveal Himself to you. In fact, He delights in doing so when we need Him most. Blessings, Marcie 🙂
