I am grateful for answered prayers, Father. Your presence was felt in worship, in travel, and as we gathered with family. Thank You for never leaving nor forsaking me. From a human perspective, You would have done that long ago, but as my heavenly Father, You love me more than I could ever begin to comprehend. Praise Your holy name!
Matthew 7:28-29 (<<click here to read the passage)
Lord Jesus, reading through this passage makes me think of the responsibility You have laid upon my shoulders. It is a privilege and an honor to serve You in proclaiming Your word. In the eyes of the world – and possibly in the eyes of the Church – I am small and relatively insignificant. But that fades into insignificance when You stand by my side. When I preach, it is not just me – and it is my heart’s desire that that will always be the case – but You are with me. You take the little I have to offer, and You fill it out to its entirety! And You are not just active on the delivering end; You are on the receiving end as well, aiding those who are hearing what You need them to hear.
As I read Your Word each day, I too am “astonished and overwhelmed at [Your] teaching.” As I have shared a couple of times in our Bible Study at church, I don’t know how many times I have read or listened to the Gospels, but this time through I am seeing things I haven’t seen quite this way before. You make “all things new” (Revelation 21:5). Your word may be thousands of years old, but there is always something to learn. I am Your humble student. “Speak, your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3:10)
