When we look at our lives, we can get stuck in the everyday things… the things that we do on a regular basis. We can lose perspective. Sometimes, we need a break…a time to rest and to get alone with God to see our lives from a bigger picture. He has called us and will continue what He has started. He controls our destiny. Job rehearsed that truth even in the middle of his trials… It is God who enables us to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us. I am so thankful that when He calls us, He will continue to enable us. He will refuel and refresh us along the way. He will do the work of ministry through us. Tonight as we get ready for the weekend of ministry, I pray that God will lift all of us up above our responsibilities and help us to see the bigger picture.
“Dear Lord, We choose to put our trust in You…You who made us for your purpose. Lead us in the right path, O Lord…Tell us clearly what to do and show us which way to turn. Let the smile of Your face shine upon us. You, O Lord, are a shield around us, our glory and the one who lifts our heads high (not in pride but in hope and confidence in You). Victory comes from You, O Lord. May Your blessings rest on Your people.”
