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:

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.

Today's meditation:

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.
