Eyes to See
May 9, 2024
As a church committed to praying for one another, we post this daily reminder we can all use for that purpose. It contains links to a Bible reading that if followed daily will have taken you through the entire Bible by this time next year, devotional thoughts from Our Daily Bread, and the passage upon which those thoughts are based, with a prayer inspired by that passage. We hope you will find it helpful!
Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 7-9; John 1:1-28
Today’s Our Daily Bread: Blooming Deserts | Our Daily Bread (odb.org)
Devotional Passage: Isaiah 35:1-7
Prayer: We look forward to that Day, Lord Jesus, when we will see You in the fullness of Your splendor and glory. As we wait, please grace us with opportunities to strengthen feeble hands and steady shaky knees; to remind those with fearful hearts to be strong and not fear because You will come with vengeance and retribution to save us all from whatever and whoever assails us. We eagerly anticipate that time when blind eyes are opened and deaf ears unstopped, the lame leap like a deer and the mute tongues shout for joy; when You usher in the new heavens and new earth that will display the beauty of Your perfect creation as You have always intended. In the meantime, teach us to be good stewards of all You and our Heavenly Father have entrusted to us, to the praise of His glory and Yours as the One in Whose Name we pray. Amen.
