Direction

I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your laws. (Psalm 119:59 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• To stop momentarily and reflect on direction is the best way to keep from getting lost whether we are driving in unfamiliar places or charting a new direction for a college, a church, or any enterprise, or for oneself and one's family, for that matter.

Pray today:

• For clear direction for Emmanuel College as we move into a new season of ministry, for the leaders who are faced with critical decision-making to ponder and reflect with discernment and wisdom, for staff, faculty and administration to be grounded in the Word of God and to follow the guidance of  the Holy Spirit.

The Result of our Ministry

Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This "letter" is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts. (2 Corinthians 3:3 NLT)

Quickly

So the Temple of the Lord was restored to service. And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of what God had done for the people, for everything had been accomplished so quickly. (2 Chronicles 29: 35b-36 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• The view from the crucible is mind-numbing and slow. It's always hurry up and wait. Time stands still.

Pray today:

For All Generations

As for us, our life is like grass. We grow and flourish like a wild flower; then the wind blows on it, and it is gone - no one sees it again.
