IDOK DEVOTION FOR THURSDAY MAY 22 2008
Warm skin to warm skin – ponder what that means to us.
James 4: 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
It means there is still hope and hopefully still time to make things right; still time to say those things you know you should; still time to make eternal memories with and for those dearest to you; still time to make this physical life count for Jesus. Still time.
I’m reading again. I am going to save, until I am finished, telling you the name of the book but I want to give you one sentence from the book that is not new to us but still profound. In the book, the speaker is God and He says: “Even though you can’t finally grasp Me, guess what? I still want to be known.”
I am continuing to meditate on this. Even though our finite minds cannot comprehend and fully or finally grasp the infinite God, He wants us in the here and now, in this life that we are now living, TO KNOW HIM. And while there is warm skin, there is still time to give yourself first and foremost to KNOWING GOD. He is eager to make Himself known to us.
Jeremiah 24: 7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
Father, as we have for a couple days now we are thinking of Kevin and his family; we are empathizing as best we know how with the grief they are feeling at the physical death of his wife. We know only You can give this husband, son, mother, father and other family members and friends the comfort they so need at this time. Only You Lord know just what to do at this time and we intercede for their comfort and solace.
Right now as we sit here and type and/or read anoint us with ears to hear, eyes to see and a heart to KNOW YOU even as You have promised in Your Word.
Please protect our IDOK Troops today from the harm of all enemies of mind, body and spirit. Return them to family and friends more in love with You than when they deployed.
Comfort, console, rebuke, encourage, feed and clothe each of these listed here as You see fit this day. Continue to work with and for Israel to bring Her the peace You have for Her; forgive and have mercy on America, give us space and grace to repent; give us the President we need to glorify You. Holy Spirit move upon us to KNOW YOU for Jesus sake.
And Father, I am concerned these devotions are not getting through to all on the list so I ask that You attend to this. Thank You Lord. Kevin M and Family. Darlene. Rachel. Allison. Kinard Family. Alla Mae. W C and family. Richard and Emma and family. Oprah. Chris B. Maggie and Family. Josh. Donnie S. Renee’. Cathy’s friend and son. Odessa H. Kathy S. Glen Beck. Tonya and family. Dall T.
