Please read devotional #52 taken from Revelation 21:3. I would like to rewrite the first sentence with different emphasis; (Now! The dwelling place of God, is with men!) Now there, is a thought to carry us into the New Year. We have sung Emmanuel, God with us, and we have welcomed the birth of the Savior. The dwelling place of our Savior is no longer the manger, but with us. For those of us who have received Him; our breathing, our living, our inspiration is now influenced by God, as He indwells our lives through the Holy Spirit.
A chorus comes to mind taken from Philippians 1:6. "He who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it. He who started the work will be faithful to complete it in you," Some things come into our lives and zap the good strength from us like a bad cold. But our Lord Comes to enhance our living, with an enabling strength toward completion. The dwelling place of God is with us, glory to His name.
Please look to the Journey booklet and the inserts to follow for continued focus upon prayer.
