Father God,
At the end of a busy day I come to me knees to rest at your feet. I come to spend some quiet time lifting up my friends on Ecuador. I remember reading in Your word today from Psalm 112. “Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands. Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever. Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor.”Psalm 112:1-9
The verses brought my friends to mind and especially reminded my heart of the people Quito. It seems like David is talking about Your very South American children. These people are hungry for truth and they find such joy in Your commands. They understand Your love with faith like a little child. May the example of our church members give them the hope of Your unfailing faithfulness and compassion. May they feel the light of love in their current darkness. May that very light stay behind and take residence in their hearts. May they become willing disciples for you burning with the desire to share Your love. Amen.
