Happy Tuesday!
Okay, I am better tonight. I wrote a scripture based
paper in response to the reading I had to do for class concerning atonement.
One of my statements simply said that Christ without the Cross would not have
cause for resurrection. Without Christ and the resurrection we would still be
killing livestock and wandering the desert.
Prayer: Holy One, we continue to journey through Holy
Week. Sometimes this week can seem overwhelming with rehearsals for special
music, several extra worship services and family gatherings to come. Let us
take a moment and think through the steps of this week and remember that You,
LORD, are at the center of all the preparations and it is You on whom we need
to place our focus. Let us listen to You when we are stressed. Calm our minds
so we can hear Your voice all the time.
Thank you Lord, we love You so.
In Jesus name, Amen.
“You
will see Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah
29: 13
God is not only with us, God is in our every experience
and circumstance. God is never the
author of evil, but when we experience tough times God is fully able to use the
bad things for good. God may not remove our suffering, but does redeem it and
give it meaning. God invites us to be courageous and to search for God’s
abiding love and unfailing Presence in whatever we are experiencing.
God did not remove the suffering of the cross from Jesus,
but used that horrific suffering to reconcile us back unto Himself and offer an
everlasting relationship with extraordinary meaning. Holy Scripture claims,
“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” Search for God and somehow God will make the
blessing of His Presence in the toughest of times.
Take joy in the journey remembering that hope does not
disappoint. Wear comfortable shoes, pray with a grateful heart and get some
sleep. Love you all, Bruce, Gaylene,
Geni, Travis and Sarah.
I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I
feel. I am only moved by what I believe and I believe God.
