A Prayer to Point Us Home
August 21, 2018
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
John 1:12
One of the first prayers I learned as a little boy was Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep . . . It was a prayer I learned from my parents, and I taught it to my son and daughter when they were little. As a child, I found great comfort in placing myself in Gods hands with those words before I fell asleep.
Theres a similar prayer neatly tucked away in the prayer book of the Bible, the Psalms. Some biblical scholars suggest that the phrase Into your hands I commit my spirit (Psalm 31:5) was a bedtime prayer taught to children in Jesuss day.
You may recognize that prayer as Jesuss final cry from the cross. But Jesus added one more word to it: Father (Luke 23:46). By praying that word in the moments before His death, Jesus demonstrated His intimate relationship with the Father and pointed believers toward their home with Him (John 14:3).
Jesus died on the cross so we could live in the wonder of a relationship with God as our heavenly Father. How comforting it is to know that because of Jesuss sacrificial love for us, we can rest in Gods care as His children! We can close our eyes without fear because our Father watches over us and has promised to wake us up to life with Him (1 Thessalonians 4:14).
Lord Jesus, I receive the gift of forgiveness You offer me through the cross. Help me to turn from my sins and follow You, all the way home.
A bright new morning awaits us in Jesus.
In Lukes account of Christs death, we see several dramatic events. A seemingly inexplicable darkness was present over the entire earthnot just over Jerusalem where the crucifixion took place (vv. 4445). Inside the temple in Jerusalem the curtain that separated worshipers from the holy of holies was torn in two, symbolizing that through Christ our access to God has been opened (v. 45). After Christ died, a Roman soldier who had participated in His execution declared, Surely this was a righteous man (v. 47). And others watching lamented and beat their breasts (v. 48).
The witness in the sky, within the temple, and by people at the foot of the cross demonstrate that this was no ordinary death. It was the death of the loving God-Man who shed His blood to redeem all who would believe in Him.

I worked in a squadron at NAS Meridian for 19 years. Started as a aircraft fueler and was a engine turn qualified a/f p/p senior mech when the T 2Cs went to the boneyard in 2004. The late Senator John C. Stennis was the driving force behind building the base in the area between Meridian and DeKalb, Mississippi in the early 1960s. Plenty of airspace and acres of undeveloped pine forests.

Hi Kathy, yup still smokey, no relief for a few days at least, *UGH*.
