Awe Fell

Instantly Zechariah could speak again, and he began praising God. Awe fell upon the whole neighborhood, and the news of what had happened spread throughout the Judean hills. Everyone who heard about it reflected on these events and asked, "What will this child turn out to be?" For the hand of the Lord was surely upon him in a special way. (Luke 1:64-66 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• When you're in over your head, when events swirling around you are bigger than you can comprehend, when you are speechless in the wake of miracles beyond imagination, begin by praising God and basking in the holy awe of his presence.

Pray today:

• For the people of Emmanuel College to be people of praise who walk in the wonder of his favor, who live in peace when turbulence comes, who reflect on the living God with us through perplexing times and puzzling events.
• For the hand of God to be upon us, for the news of God with us to spread throughout the Georgian hills and beyond, for awe to fall upon us all because of his miracles among us.
• For steadfast faith to move boldly into what God intends for Emmanuel College to be, both now and in the future, to move forward in confidence with boundless praise upon our lips.

Pray First! Pray Through!
