IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2008
Eight of twenty five – a Great Recipe:
8- Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and Dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
Allow me to offer you a Guest Writer today. Max Lucado from his book entitled, Grace for the Moment; page 304 which is taken from his book entitled In the Grip of Grace.
God’s Highest Dream
It is not our love for God; it is God’s love for us in sending His Son to be the way to take away our sins. I John 4:10.
We have attempted to reach the moon but scarcely made it off the ground. We tried to swim the Atlantic, but couldn’t get beyond the reef. We have attempted to scale the Everest of salvation, but we have yet to leave the base camp, much less ascend the slope. The quest is simply too great; we don’t need more supplies or muscle or technique; we need a helicopter.
Can’t you hear it hovering?
“God has a way to make people right with Him.” (Romans 3:21, italics mine). How vital that we embrace this truth. God’s highest dream is not to make us rich, not to make us successful or popular or famous. God’s dream is to make us right with Him.
And to that I add AMEN!
I John 4:10 Amplified Bible: In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.
Romans 3:21 Amplified Bible: But now the righteousness of God has been revealed independently and altogether apart from the Law, although actually it is attested by the Law and the Prophets,
Father, it has been a full day. You know the rejoicing, You know the hope. Thank You. But Thank You ABBA more than anything for the ‘helicopter’ that has come and is to come again. Lord Jesus thank You for lifting us from the penalty of sin, thank You that You are day by day as we cooperate with You lifting us from the practice of sin and Praise Your Name Holy Father the day will come when You lift us from the presence of sin! Oh, ABBA we long for that day. Bless You Lord, Bless Your Holy Name. We ask You now to comfort the people of this list; comfort us with discipline as we need it and blessings as You can trust us with them. We Love You and we desire to worship You and enter into Your Kingdom Work with You for Jesus sake. Amen and amen. Economic conditions, especially the effects it has upon the minds and hearts of people. Unspoken Requests – situations so close you can only speak to Father about. Jodie H. David T. Kimberly.

Allow me one political observation today: I am praising the Lord that with all their scratching and digging and slinging Obama and Biden have only one platform against McCain and Palin and as these next weeks go by it is my prayer that the American people will not only tire of hearing their faulty claim that McCain is a clone of George Bush but will stand up on November 4 and tell Obama and Biden not only do we not believe you we will not trust you with the two highest offices in America!
