Father God,
I pause in the middle of my work today to give you honor and praise. Even though the sky you have planned today over me is cloudy I find some comfort in the shade. For it is during the rain that we can be refreshed and grow, making us shine brighter when you again bring the sun. Thank you for knowing just what we need when we need it and the mercy from you to accept those things as your well prepared plan. As wonderful as your love is to our soul, make us mindful to share that love with others and not keep it prisoner alone in our selfish joy. Proverbs 25:16 “If you find honey, eat just enough – too much and you will be sick.” Lord, help us to see your love for us as honey. Bring us to a place where we will hold on to enough to satisfy us and use the extra to share with those who are hurting and broken. I praise you for the ability through technology to hear from those in Ecuador daily. Hearing firsthand about the blessing they are giving and receiving is such an encouragement. Today I read in Proverbs 25:25 “Like cold water to a weary soul, is good news from a distant land. “ What a reminder from your word of the mission team in Ecuador. The “good news” from them brings the happenings in that distant land so close. Seeing the smiles on all the faces is like a satisfying drink of cool water. How it pleases me and quenches my soul. My heart drinks in every drop. As the days of the trip draws to a close lift up your people. Give all those on the team just enough of your sweet honey to feed them as they share your living water with all who are in need. When they feel tired spark the desire deep within them to press on looking to you for grace and perseverance. Bless this team Lord with more of you than they ever thought was possible this side of heaven. Amen
