Your Strong Arm

They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from your face that helped them, for you loved them. (Psalm 44:3 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• No matter how capable we think we may be, it is the Lord who brings victory, who overcomes the insurmountable and vanquishes the unconquerable - because he loves us.

Give thanks:

• For our loving Lord, for his strong arm and radiant glory that delivers us and makes us free to serve him in his kingdom of light.
• For the financial breakthrough experienced by Emmanuel College last week. To read about it, visit our website at http://www.ec.edu/news/emmanuel-college-achieves-financial-breakthrough 

Pray today:

• For the people of Emmanuel College to work together to create the future God intends for us, to strengthen existing programs and to create new ones that align with his plan.
• For the leaders and individuals preparing for the EC Serve missions trip to Costa Rica in two weeks, May 8-16 (note correction-the trip is in May not June), for support to be raised, for resources to be abundant, for the people who will receive this ministry.
