"No man is an island"--we've heard it all our lives. Do we believe it? The events of the last few days--the tragedies, the turmoil, the trauma--all bring us together as one family, a hurting family that needs the Lord!
And THAT'S the bottom line....hurting people need Him; headstrong people need Him. The saved need him; the sinful need Him. We can't get along without the Lord...and when HE is not in control, the sin-bent soul inside of each of us can detonate! Anger builds up, emotions break down, hatred spills over--and disaster results, as we've seen this week. All hell breaks loose when heaven is not in control!
Lord, help us all. Bind us together as one loving family to minister to each other's needs, but more importantly, let us bond ourselves to You and Your loving care. May Your laws be written in our hearts; may Your love flow from our lives to a sick and dying world. Help us find that one who's lost and bring him to You; help us cry out to You for the people in our neighborhoods, our towns and cities, our world--people--ALL people--need the Lord.
Do you need Him in a specific, personal way today? Are you fighting fear, anxiety, worry--or hatred, anger, pain? Then you need the Lord. HE is the answer to your every need. Believe it--and receive His love and help this day!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"And they shall be my people, and I will be their God; and I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them...I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me (Jeremiah 32:38-40)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, we need You. Walk with us daily--show us Your ways; help us to depend on You alone for all we need, and give us compassion to reach out to a dying world with Your saving grace. YOU are all we need and on You we will depend, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
