The End or the Beginning of the Journey
We have been to the Holy Land. We have walked where the prophets of old have walked, witnessed the destruction and creativity of generations that followed their steps. We have felt the winds of the desert and smelled the salt of the Sea, and we were blessed to have been in the very Temple Mount of Jerusalem.
It was wonderful, exhausting, tiring and refreshing all at the same time. No day was like another and every day began with devotions on the bus. The devotion would begin with a Psalm reading, then a song, and they a prayer. Next our tour guide would begin telling us the history of civilizations that existed before the time of Christ and even before the time of Abraham. He told us of the lowest place on the earth called Jericho that was over 4,000 years old and a column that was discovered there that was possibly 9.000 years old.
At the end of every day we would be amazed by God’s glory, filled with desire for rest, and anxious for a new beginning tomorrow.
I begin to realize that every day of my life should be on a pattern like this. One filled with going back to the very basic of my faith and life and realizing that no day has ever been or life lived that God did not have a special desire in. No prayer has ever been prayed or affirmation given to a loved one that should not be filled with the promise and power of the Holy Spirit.
Mid-week Prayer
Yahweh, God of all Creation, we come before You this day and know that only You can make our life have meaning. We offer to You every possibility that we have and desire Your presence to fill it and then touch others with the glory of Your love shining through us. We pray this in the blessed name of your Son, Jesus, the Christ of Lent who suffered death for us and the Christ of Salvation who conquered sin. Amen
This has been Rev. Jim Massey. The Holy land carries power beyond our dreams. I lifted your name in the “Wailing Wall” of the Temple. I know that God has blessed you by His promise. See you next week in the Mid-week Epistle.
