No magic formulas in this galaxy.
None.
But there is a God Who hears and cares.
And His Hand is on our lives.
Keep us, O God, from harm.
We trust in You.
I Chron 3:10 Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!” And God granted him what he requested.
I Chron 5:25 They acted treacherously before their God---going after other things. How many people do we know who are chasing after the things of this life? What about me? What do I chase after when I fall short? O God, reveal how we are doing the same by demanding that we be treated better, demanding that those who offend us daily change their wily ways. Make me strong to embrace all that is thrown my way. Make me brave to face the truth.
PRAYER FROM PSALMS
Psalm 31:24 O God, may we put our hope in You. Make us strong and brave.

In today's readings we read about people from 1 end of the spectrum to the other - from Jabez to people carried away into captivity.
ReplyDeleteOur walks with God can be the same way - one moment on the mountain top, the next moment in a valley.
Help us Lord to walk with You always and not pursue the things of the world but to pursue You and Your ways.
