His Kindness and Love

The Lord forgives our sins, heals us when we are sick, and protects us from death. His kindness and love are a crown on our heads. Each day that we live, he provides for our needs and gives us the strength of a young eagle. (Psalm 103:3-4 CEV)

Today's meditation:

• God's kindness and love in our lives are as clearly visible to others as the garments we wear, and in fact, clothe us as in robes of royalty, marked as his children, his heirs, his family for the world to see.

Give thanks:

• For we are forgiven, restored to good health, and saved from uncertainty and impotence, give thanks for our God who daily provides Emmanuel College with what we need and renews our strength.

New Strength

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Old strength from past achievement is constantly fading into the background which is why we need new strength from the active presence of the Lord to keep us soaring high in his kingdom's work, moving forward, quickly at times, slowly at others, but always toward the next God-inspired goal.

Strength to the Powerless

He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. (Isaiah 40:29 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Fathers often provide what their children lack, lifting them on their shoulders to help them see more clearly, whispering words of encouragement when they lack confidence, steadying them in risky places so they may walk or ride, carrying them, if necessary, until they are able to stand on their own. Thank you, Father.

Give thanks:

• For the steady hand of God that has held Emmanuel College during the difficulties of the last four years.
• For the power of the Lord that lifted us when we were so weak, for the strength of the Lord that infused us with energy and action when we were powerless and spent, for the comfort we feel in the presence of the Lord.

His Understanding

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. (Isaiah 40:28 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Isn't it funny when people strut around like peacocks, trying to convince us they know everything about God? But try as we may, what we know is but a thimble full compared to the infinite complexity of the Lord God Almighty and his ways among humans, giving us all the more reason to marvel at his yearning to be with us and to have us call him Daddy. 

Give thanks:

• For the everlasting God who stoops to interact with us, to be present with us, to love and care for us, to be patient with us, and to intercede for us.
• For our God who never leaves us - even when our faith is weak and we have no strength and our perspective is distorted and we lack understanding - even then, especially then, he never abandons us.

Incomparable Strength

"To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?" asks the Holy One. Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing. (Isaiah 40:25-26 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• So self-absorbed in our daily lives, we hardly notice the magnificence of the heavens or the sheer magnitude of the universe or the vastness of the oceans or the resplendent beauty of  mountains, valleys and plains, or the incomparable God and creator who made it all.

Give thanks:

Solid Ground

Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the Lord. (Psalm 26:12 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Despite appearances, if you have Jesus, you've been on solid ground all along, through every storm and hazard, through every trial and trouble. It's our perspective that makes us think otherwise, but when we get on the other side of trouble, it is amazing how quickly perspective adjusts to reality.

[Jesus said], "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor - Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]." (John 16:7 AMP)
