Loving God, with Your awesome power remove the debris from the life of this dear reader for Your glory; in Christ Jesus I pray, amen.
The Psalmist said these words in Psalm 107: 1 Oh, thank God - he's so good! His love never runs out. 2 All of you set free by God, tell the world! Tell how he freed you from oppression, 3 Then rounded you up from all over the place, from the four winds, from the seven seas. 4 Some of you wandered for years in the desert, looking but not finding a good place to live, 5 Half-starved and parched with thirst, staggering and stumbling, on the brink of exhaustion. 6 Then, in your desperate condition, you called out to God. He got you out in the nick of time; 7 He put your feet on a wonderful road that took you straight to a good place to live. 8 So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves. 9 He poured great draughts of water down parched throats; the starved and hungry got plenty to eat. 43 If you are really wise, you'll think this over - it's time you appreciated God's deep love. (The Message)
Where have you come from? Where are you headed? The psalmist knows as most of us, that we can never forget that once we were in spots we shouldn't have been and God's awesome power has either pulled or lifted us out of those. We remember only to thank God for God's power to do these things when it seemed that nothing else could. And if those memories lead to praise, imagine how much better today and tomorrow will be if we continue trusting and thanking God? Some of us truly walked through a spiritual desert where we were parched with thirst that nothing could quench. Then we heard about living water offered to us by Jesus and we drank to our satisfaction. O, praise the Lord for those waters! If we continue to walk with Jesus we will be, like Scripture says, like tress planted by a stream. The deep roots in Jesus will suffice in all things.
PRAYER: Loving God, may my and the those of this dear reader praying this, reach deep into the fountain that is Jesus. Quench our thirst again today and let us tell another thirsty one about that wonderful experience that we have had. We want to be truly wise and share the appreciation we have for You. In Christ Jesus I pray, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
