Words of Encouragement
October - 17 - 2004
Do you sometimes long for the pillar of fire at night and the cloud by day to guide your way through this world, like the Israelites had during their wilderness wanderings. But we are reminded of God's abiding presence in the Spirit and his promise to never forsake us. I believe that if we seek His glory He will get us where we need to be to do his will.
The scripture reading is from Isaiah 48:17.
Thus says the Lord, you Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.
Let us pray.
O heavenly Father, guide us to the places you want us to be, to the ministries in which you want us to serve, and to the people you most want us to touch. Capture our hearts to do your work and never let us lose sight of your coming glory.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
