Father,
What an amazing time we had yesterday at church and at the
baptism! I praise you for children!
What I noticed yesterday was the truth of
Luke 24:30-32 lived out. As we shared the word of God with the children during
the first and second services, we could literally see their eyes open and
understand your truth. As I taught the children’s baptism class, I experienced one
child encouraging another with your word (interestingly, the scripture she
shared was not even part of the baptism lesson, yet, it fit so well – only You,
Lord could orchestrate that!).
Again at the baptism, I witnessed a mom sharing her child’s
spiritual growth with me and another mom and suddenly, the one mom who was
hearing and hurting was lifted up by your word. What was shared was so fitting
for what she was struggling with at that very moment. She was strengthened and
touched intimately by your love.
Wow! What a beautiful day to witness the working of your
Spirit among the body of Christ!
Yesterday reminds me of the first church when they gathered
together and were filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed. Yesterday
proves that your desire for your church then
is also your desire for your church today.
I am praying for one thing today for
our church: devotion. May we have a
burning desire to know you and seek you, therefore as you reveal yourself to
us, suddenly our eyes will be opened and we will know who you are and the
blessings you are sharing with us. Make us intentionally aware of your truth
and the power of your presence. We love you!
In Jesus name,
Amen
Luke 24:30-32; Acts 2:43
