Your Paths Are Directed
Week 7,year 2! (Sunday-Shabbat)
Operation Jericho – mission 2: many, many good things happened last week. Some were overtly obvious; others, hints that He is moving. Let us not weary in well-doing but persevere. He continues workingand orchestratingeach of the situations of our mission.
I read an article that illustrates how Hedirects our pathsphysically, spiritually, and mentally. Petra Anderson was one the Aurora shooting victims. She was shot 4 times: 3 times in her arm and once in her head – and she survived! Though still quite weak, she is able to walk, talk, and joke! How? The bullet traveled in a fluid-filledpocket through the brain. (for more details). I learned we have fluid-filled pockets in various places, but hers was exactly where the bullet entered. It didn’t miss the pocket by millimeters; it was atthe exact spot!! That is a huge miracle! Jeremiah 1 tells us how much our Lord loves us and prepares us: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart,”Jer 1:4b, NIV.
Isn’t it wonderful, knowing that our God loves us – that He is organizing our lives – that He is making straight the seemingly crooked places – that all will work together for His glory! “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness,” Jer 31:3b, NIV.
I encourage each of us to relax in the situations that beset us. Focus our energy on prayer for the situations listed in this Call To Prayer. As we focus on the needs of others’, our own issues will gain a new perspective – His perspective!
“Glorious, heavenly Father. Again You have done mighty and wondrous things. Help us to be able to see even the tiniest ways in which You are intervening. We bless You that You are a God who truly loves us. We continue to be in awe that You would choose us with whom to have relationship. We lift up each of the situations of the mission from last week. Bring revival to our land. We pray huge blessings upon Chick-fil-A; thank You for a business that is willing to stand for Your Word. Bless them and their franchisees! Bless the homecoming of our soldiers and their families – help their transition to be easy. Heal those who sick physically, financially, and/or emotionally. We pray for Israeli believers. Bless them. Give them favor. Bring Your peace to J’lem. In Your awesome Name, we pray.”
