This week at our church has been set aside as a week of prayer. As part of that observance, we put together a "Daily Bread" style devotional on prayer. Each entry was contributed by one of our missionaries or pastors.
Day One
I love wonder. Today our missionary Barry Speck called us to wonder in the sovereignty of God - particularly as it relates to the people in our lives. There are over seven billion people living on this planet today. Any of us could have been born anywhere on this planet, yet God has ordained that we are here and that the tiny portion of those seven billion who are around us are the people He has chosen to be in our lives. When you think of it, the odds are staggering for any particular person to be a part of our lives. Doesn't that change how you look at your wife, your children or your best friend? Out of all the endless possibilities, God has chosen these people to be part of our lives.
Have you thanked God today for the people He has put into your life?
