Dr. Jim Denison's 2013 collection of Lenten devotionals is entitled, "If My People..." and comes at a time that he believes "a Fifth Great Awakening is sweeping the nations, as more people are coming to Christ than ever before in Christian history. How can you join this great movement of God's Spirit?" He goes on to write, "in this year's Lenten devotional guide, we will walk each day with King Solomon as he leads his nation into God's presence and glory. We will commit ourselves to our Father's purpose and experience his transforming power. And we will claim his promise: 'If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land' (2 Chronicles 7:14). 'If My People ...' is more than a Lenten guide - it is God's invitation to intimacy with him. Please join us on this joyous journey."

Will you seek awakening for your soul?
Daylight Savings Time begins today and ends on November 3. It was first implemented during World War I as a way to conserve coal. While sports and retailers bene t, farmers have been less enthusiastic. Time change has presented challenges for computer programmers over the years, and has been linked to sleep disruption and health issues.
Today, we have smartphones that adjust the time for us. But no one can reset our clocks spiritually—this is something we must each do for ourselves. Our Scripture continues: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves . . ." God's invitation is addressed personally to you. You cannot humble your neighbor or pastor or mayor. The only person whose relationship with God you can determine is your own.
Gypsy Smith, a great evangelist of an earlier generation, was once asked how revival begins. He suggested: "Take a piece of chalk and draw a circle around yourself. Pray until everything inside that circle is right with God, and revival will be upon us."
Would you take his advice today?
