Ready or not here we go....

Here is today's devotion- Coincidence? I don’t think so…

"Grace for the Moment". Max Lucado- October 13

The Voice of Adventure: The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1

Jesus says the options are clear. On one side there is the voice of safety. You can build a fire in the hearth, stay inside, and stay warm and dry for what you don't try right? You can't fall if you don't take a stand, right? You can't lose your balance if you never climb, right? So don't try it. Take the safe route.

OR or you can hear the voice of adventure--God's adventure. Instead of building a fire in your hearth, build a fire in your heart. Follow God's impulses. Adopt the child. Move overseas. Teach the class. Change careers. Run for office. Go to Joplin, Missouri (added by Paulette). Make a difference. Sure it isn't safe, but what is? --


Father God:

You are a gracious and loving Father. Thank you for planting in each of us a spirit of adventure. Thank you too for allowing us to join you in your work in Joplin Missouri. May we truly be one in spirit as we serve the people you have planned in advance for us to meet and may we draw closer to you this week. We lift up Tom and Mark to you who have already begun the drive with our supplies and ask that you keep them from harms way. We also lift up the members of our team who have are joining us in Dallas, (Jenny), and Missouri (Dale and Diana). We pray for the people we will be working alongside this week Father. May you be preparing the spirits of those who are far from you to hear and/or see you this coming week. Give us wisdom on when to speak and when to be your quiet example of love.

Father we pray we honor and glorify you in everything we do. And it is in the name of your precious Son, Jesus Christ that we pray,
Amen
