Father, You are good and in Your goodness You have provided Your Word as a way for us to know You.š Your Word allows me to personally know Who You are, to know my sinfulness and need for a Savior; It makes a way for me to not only know The Savior but to trust in Him and to have a relationship with You, the True and Living God. To be able to grow in the wisdom and understanding of your Word is a blessing that allows me to live and love like Jesusā¤ļø, to bring salt and light into this dark world, and to share You with others.
I do not deserve this blessing but have received it as a gift from Youš It is a gift born not of merit but of Your love and desire to have a relationship with me. You are good and I am greatly blessed!
For me this was another perfect starter for the days we are living through. Does anyone remember the song from the 70s called āPass it onā? āIt only takes a spark to get a fire š„ going and soon all those around will warm up to its glowing – thatās how it is with Gods love – once youāve experienced it … you want to pass it on…ā can you imagine what would happen if we lived these words of Paul?! How we would be affected and how we would affect the world (believers and non-believers) around us? š praying for our batteries to be recharged and sparks to fly šš
Good morning āļø for the sake of peace I almost skipped this particular prayer starter – but seeing how it feeds so perfectly into our current āKnow Loveā study I am trusting it is meant to be shared. I am praying for openness as you read and an understanding that this is not meant to bash āthe mediaā – not to focus our attention in the media but rather to remind us where our true focus is to be. I believe that media can be, and is often, used for good. However, there is no denying the truth of the statement that it can distort the truth and draw our mind to focus on the world. In this ā2020 cultureā may our prayer daily echo this mornings starter: āLord, help us to focus not on the worldās [message], but on the message of Your Son.ā
