Pray for our American Heroes and our Nation.

Lord, we echo the words of the apostle Paul who said, "Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom we are the worst. But for that very reason we were shown mercy so that in us, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever, Amen. Lord, even if we are the very worst of sinners--as sometimes we feel we are--You still forgive and are willing to use those who put their trust in You!

Father, may Your unfailing love be our comfort, according to Your promise to Your sevants. Let Your compassion come to us, Your children in this nation, and to all of our American heroes, that we may live, for Your law is our delight. Our soul faints with longing for Your salvation, but we have put our hope in Your Word. Our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases Him. Lord, sometimes our only answer will be that You are sovereign. Your Word says that the death of Your saints is absolutely precious to You. One day we will have all the answers. But until then, we must trust that You know best. Help us to believe this even when we don't feel this. In Jesus name, we pray, Amen

Seeing Near And Far
May 15, 2012

Having two healthy eyes is not enough to see clearly. I know this from experience. After a series of eye surgeries for a torn retina, both eyes could see well but they refused to cooperate with each other. One eye saw things far away and the other saw things close up. But instead of working together, they fought for supremacy. Until I could get new prescription glasses 3 months later, my eyes remained unfocused.

Something similar happens in our view of God. Some people focus better on God when they see Him as “close up”—when they think of Him as intimately present in their daily life. Other Christians see God more clearly as “far away” or far beyond anything we can imagine, ruling the universe in power and majesty.

While people disagree about which view is best, the Bible works like a prescription lens helping us to see that both are correct. King David presents both views in Psalm 145: “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him” (v.18) and “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable” (v.3).

Thankfully, our Father in heaven is near to hear our prayers yet so far above us in power that He can meet every need.

Lord, You’re the high and lofty One,
Yet close enough to hear our voice;
You’re powerful, yet personal;
Your love for us makes us rejoice. —Sper

God is big enough to care for the smallest needs.

Read: Psalm 145

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him. —Psalm 145:18

Bible in a Year:
Job 5-7
