Week of Prayer

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?

Something a Little Deeper for Christmas

Why the Jewish Messiah is the Most Important Individual in History by   Eric Davis What Christmas commemorates is big for many reasons. With the incarnation comes the Savior. For those who repent, there is justification, adoption, redemption, reconciliation, regeneration, sanctification, and, one day, glorification. But if we back up a bit, with the incarnation, there is the arrival of the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. It’s difficult for a 21 st   century audience to appreciate the century-long yearning which the Hebrews had for the Messiah’s arrival. But why? What is the significance of the Jewish Messiah?

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
