Milestone 100

Psalm 145:8-14  

The Lord is gracious and merciful,

    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

The Lord is good to all,

    and his compassion is over all that he has made.

 

10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,

    and all your faithful shall bless you.

11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom,

    and tell of your power,

12 to make known to all people your mighty deeds,

    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

    and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

 

The Lord is faithful in all his words,

    and gracious in all his deeds.

14 The Lord upholds all who are falling,

    and raises up all who are bowed down.

According to my calculations, this is Alone in the Wilderness Together Devotion #108. I started writing these devotions on March 18. Pastor Tracy wrote eight devotions in the middle somewhere. So this is #100 from me.

I will continue…

Thank you! I have heard from many of you that you find these offerings to be one way for us to stay connected during this time of physical separation. You may recall stories that you previously heard from the pulpit. And, I have enjoyed traveling down memory lane with you to recall stories from my past that convey a message.

My hope and prayer is that through these devotions, you may know this:

  • There is a God who knows you – inside and out, upside and down.
  • And this God who knows you is the God who loves you.
  • If you have any doubts, look at the cross.

 

We will continue to read God’s word and find insights to share. I am sure some will resonate more than others. To begin each day in God’s Word is a great start on the right path, the first step.

My second step each day is reading the comics in the paper, which is much more enjoyable than the first twenty-plus pages of news!

I want to offer a HUGE thank you to Kathy Whited, our Communications staff member. Kathy is the final editor of these offerings and the one who gets them from me to you every day.

So for devotion #100, I invite you to focus on the beautiful words of Psalm 145 today.

Read each verse one at a time.

Behold the wonder of God.

Take a moment after each verse and craft a prayer based on those words.

After I’ve offered prayers 100 times, it’s your turn! Don’t worry – I will be back to the task tomorrow!

Amen!
