IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2007

Are you aware that the Father takes delight in you and that He thinks about you all the time? .. Jack Frost

Names are important and what is associated with a Name is crucial. The quote today was spoken/written by Jack Frost. If you go to your Internet browser search window and type in just ‘jack frost’, the first page of links you receive has nothing to say about the author of our quote. But if you type in ‘jack frost author’, up comes Jack Frost – Christian writer.
Jack died this year on March 5 leaving his wife, children, grand-children and a couple books behind.
‘Experiencing the Father’s Embrace’, and ‘Spiritual Slavery to Spiritual Sonship’.
Strange, isn’t it? Hardly a person is not familiar with the elfish creature who personifies crisp, cold winter weather and there’s a movie by that name as well. I believe Michael Keaton portrays him.
But how many of us heard of Jack Frost, Christian writer, before today?
Most of the people who occupy (past, present or future) this planet, live and physically die with little or no recognition, certainly not as much as Jack Frost, an imaginary creation.
Isn’t it GREAT to know that Father God has RECOGNIZED you and shall NEVER forget you?
Enjoy a portion of Psalm 139 and acknowledge by your thinking, talking and ‘walk’ today that YOU are on the Mind and Heart of the Creator of the Universe, even if only a handful of people know your name!
1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
We are in Awe of Your Father Lord. You know each and every one of us, nothing about us is hidden from You and You love us still! Thank You Father. And this morning we continue to think of and pray for WC and the family as they prepare a memorial service for his Dad. And we continue to think of the Wheeler Family and Joseph Toomey and his family and many others as listed here and we pray for them – that they will be made strong in faith and their love for You will deepen even today. And we trust You too to provide every need of each one. And we bring our IDOK Troops for protection – mind, body and spirit and we ask You for safe returns of each and every one of them. And we pray for a successful conclusion to this war soon. And Father, we pray for families in need, in need of a place to invest time and energy for dollars to support and care for their families – Lord, open those places to them and give them peace in it and enjoyment I pray. And I am continuing to think of the Presidential election next year and again I ask You to bring to the forefront and cause Your People to vote in the Man You have chosen to occupy the office of the Presidency for this Nation. Lord, we are doomed with out and we pray for Your Intervention in this matter. And we pray for the Peace of Israel and the Repentance of America and all this we ask in Jesus Name.
