Fellowship with God
The Third Sunday of Easter
Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Afterward Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted him, Joshua son of Nun, would remain behind in the Tent of Meeting. ~ Exodus 33:11 (NLT)
They said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts on fire when he spoke to us along the road and when he explained the scriptures for us?” ~ Luke 24:32 (CEB)
KEY IDEA:
Being with God lights a fire within us.
PRAYER:
Loving God, thank you for welcoming us into your presence. I am easily distracted by the rockstars and glitter of the world. They get in the way of my time with you. Please show me how to better manage the distractions of life. I'm going to seek fellowship with you. Amen.
