This morning in the Prayer Room we were praying for the ending of human-trafficking in Vancouver and the outpouring of God's glory to the nations as they gather for the Olympics.
As I meditated on the image of an Olympic stadium, with it's thousands of people setting their gaze upon the one athlete standing on the podium who has triumphed over their adversaries and been deemed worthy to have her anthem played in the presence of this great cloud of witnesses, I became aware of one thing - only Jesus is worthy to stand in the presence of the nations and be glorified!
He is the One who has overcome. He alone is worthy of such praise! He is the One highly exalted among the nations!! And it is HIS song that the nations were made to share in!!!
For so many years I have set my eyes on the Olympics, putting aside my life for 3 weeks to gaze upon the finest men and woman that humanity can produce. I have worshiped at the alter of humanity and given my affections to men like Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps.
Jesus have mercy on me! You alone are worthy of such affection! You alone are worthy to be praised!!
Father I pray today that you would reveal your Son to the nations of the earth as they gather in Vancouver. That you would break in with power and turn these temples of men into a prophetic picture of heaven, as men and women from every tribe and tongue raise their voices in the song of the Lamb. Jesus, You are the desire of the nations. Come Lord Jesus Come!
Amen
