“Woe is me! For I am like those who gather summer fruits, like those who glean vintage grapes; there is no cluster to eat of the first-ripe fruit which my soul desires” (Micah 7:1).

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven”
(Matthew 5:3-10).

Morning by Morning, May 26, 2026 — Ripe for Revival!

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me begin my day as every day—embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit. …

As I wait for Your leading today, these words rise up in my heart:

“Ripe for revival.” …

Yes, Lord. Like the fruit of a tree that is only ripe in its season and not before, like the fruit of a tree that must be gathered and picked at its optimum time, like the fruit of a tree that must not be left to rot and fall to the ground, let us see the fruit that is ripe for revival!

“Woe is me! For I am like those who gather summer fruits, like those who glean vintage grapes; there is no cluster to eat of the first-ripe fruit which my soul desires” (Micah 7:1).

The Prophet Micah desired in his soul to see and to taste the ripe fruit of the trees in summer. But he saw none. He tasted none. It was the season of fruit to be grown to maturity, to be ripe for the picking and for the tasting, but there was none. 

But what comes to my spirit this morning is the yearning passion to see the fruit ripe for revival. Hearts are hungry. The world is weary. People are desperate and struggle with despair. Hope is fleeting and fear abounds.

And these are the very conditions that make this season ripe for revival!

For You are the only One who can satisfy. You are the only One who can save us and heal us and free us, who can encourage us and lift us up out of despair, out of our darkness into the glory of Your marvelous Light. You are our only Hope!

When we moved through our misery to turn to the Master, to make You Lord and Savior of our souls and every area of our lives, Your Spirit awakens the hope and promises of God within us:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven”
(Matthew 5:3-10).

Turn our misery into blessing! Turn our helplessness into hope. Turn our time of fruitlessness into a season set apart by You that is ripe for revival! And let Your revival begin in me! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
