As a Father

As a father is kind to his children, so the Lord is kind to those who honor him. He knows what we are made of; he remembers that we are dust. (Psalm 103:13-14 GNB)

Today's meditation:

• Good fathers are kind and loving to their children, so obvious when taking time to be with them, when providing for them, when coming to their rescue, but also when disciplining and guiding them so perfectly, especially our Father, for he remembers we are dust.

Pray today:

• For our human frailties to not interfere with God's plan for Emmanuel, for the strength of the Lord in us to overcome our weakness, for the Spirit of God upon us to empower feeble hands for the great work of God before us.

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
