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.
• For the financial breakthrough experienced by Emmanuel College last week. To read more, visit our website at http://www.ec.edu/news/emmanuel-college-achieves-financial-breakthrough 

Pray today:

• For all the many end-of-the-semester activities taking place these last two weeks, for understanding and strength to complete these tasks well, for all praise to God for another successful year.
