All Who Are Thirsty
Luke 9 v10:17
O, Lord God of Israel, we do not have to look far for examples of Your heart and compassion for Your people. The five thousand could so easily been sent away, left to fend for themselves, You had already given them so much. And yet You knew their thirst and their hunger. You knew their physical and spiritual need. You called to heaven and blessed the loaves and the fishes, and heaven replied by supplying more than they could want or need. Such is the way of the Kingdom of Heaven, such is the provision of the holy, prayer answering Creator God. Help us today, Lord, in our commitment and honour of you. Lead us to commit a sacrifice, of prayer, of fasting, of extolling, of encouraging. Something that would bless Your heart. Not that the best of our works would be anything but filthy rags before You, but that we acknowledge and desire to be kind towards our fellow men and women as you were that day in Bethsaida, as You are every day before or since. Amen.

Here I Am
Daniel 8 v5:14
Studies here, here and here.
Holy Lord, You spoke to Your prophets about the times to come. You covered Your edicts in mystery so that only the discerning could interpret them, that those of an upright heart could receive knowledge and understanding through the administration of Your Holy Spirit. In this age, since the coming of Your Son, Jesus, the most part of these mysteries have been laid open so that Your children and even outsiders can see clearly the authority and power behind these prophets. You are who You say You are, You have been carefully unfolding Your work of redemption since time began. The only mystery remaining surrounds the time and nature of Your final return, the Second Coming of Your Son, Jesus. Whilst we may study and search to find the events that herald Your glorious return, it is obviously folly and foolishness to try and discern the exact date. You have said, in Your word, that no one is to know the date and time of Your return apart from Yourself. It is Yours, Lord. Keep us from this foolish endeavour, Lord, help us know that what You require of us is to be ready, day or night, summer or winter, springtime or harvest. Lamps charged, clothed in armour, lips proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel, in Jesus's name, amen.

Bind Us Together
One Way Jesus
Job 38 v19:41
The Way, the Truth, the Life. Jesus, Lord of All, Redeemer, Risen King. At once the Father and in the Father. At once Spirit and in the Spirit. Mighty God, Awesome God, have we ever really considered You? Would our very thoughts crush us? We are not able to take it all in. Knowing this, seeing this, accepting this, how can we do anything else but worship and praise You? Today, Lord, we lift a song of praise. No strings. No caveats. No pleas. We celebrate You, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, for You are worthy to be praised. In Jesus's name, amen.

See His Love
Ever Be
Numbers 6 v1:21
Separation, Lord. Separation from sin, separation from self. Self denial, rebirth. The path and passage to You is narrow, requiring us to press further and to go deeper. Requiring us, at times, to contend with principalities and powers, asking of us to surrender our all and to trust in something greater and more profound. Something eminently more able. Lord of Lords and King of Kings, please let that power flow and fill us today. We are not content with an ordinary life. Not for vain ambition or expression, but for acknowledgement of who You are and what You have done for each of us. Broken, lost, saddened, lonely and afraid, yet we are bolstered and uplifted by the One, the only One, who is able to redeem, cleanse, restore and set free. Take that freedom, Lord, we pray, and use us for Your glory in this life, that we may rest and share with You in the next. Hosanna! Jesus is Lord! Hosanna! In whose name we pray, amen!
