Today’s Reflection:
Today’s reflection is brief because I am getting used to a new schedule. I am headed to the office for my first official day as pastor at Bethel Church of the Nazarene. How Lana and I thank God for this opportunity to serve God and His people! Please pray for us…
In our Old Testament reading this morning, we find these words: “O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress… He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.” (Isaiah 33.2, 6)
Do you long for God gracious activity in your life? I do! I long for that grace that is assured and amazing. He is my strength this morning as I begin a new ministry. Over the past year, He has shown himself to be my salvation. I know he will in the coming year!
He is a sure foundation for our times. We can turn to him in these times of:
- Unrelenting terror
- Economic collapse
- Political relativism
- Moral confusion
- National division
This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
1 John 1.7-8: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
