Respite For the Weary
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
I Peter 2:9
King Eternal,
Only by Your grace my children are Your chosen people. Remind and convict their hearts that they are not their own - that they belong to you. May they be full of wonder at the miracle which You performed in each of them - drawing them out of darkness into Your marvelous light!
After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall show you." Genesis 22:1-2
Dear Lord,
Give us an awareness of your activity in our lives. When times of testing come, may our allegiance to you win out over everything else, realizing that the ultimate outcome is in your hands. May we know in our hearts that your testing gives us an opportunity to point to the greater Kingdom story. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
