Supplication
For some, this has been a very disappointing year. For others, it has been a year of change & opportunity; opportunity for refining/growth. For some, doors have been shut (not necessarily on your own doing), while for others, new doors have swung wide open-doors unimaginable. In his devotion book, My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers says, “A journey of faith means loving and knowing the One who is leading you yet it does not mean you will always have understanding. A journey of faith is not a life of one glorious mountaintop experience after another, like soaring on eagles’ wings, but is a life of day-in and day-out consistency; a life of walking (without fainting.)”
Whether in a pandemic or another crisis, may you continue to open yourself fully to the Lord, much like these Dipladenia flowers. Offer your supplications to Him knowing He cares and hears the cries of your heart.
Psalm 6:9 (NASB) “The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord receives my prayer.”
Philippians 4:6-7 (NASB) “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Go in Peace-To Love and Serve the Lord-Thanks be to God.
Amen.
