I live in the high and holy places,
but also with the low-spirited, the spirit-crushed,
And what I do is put new spirit in them,
get them up and on their feet again.
LUKE 24:29 (CEV)
They begged him, “Stay with us! It's already late, and the sun is going down.” So Jesus went into the house to stay with them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God lives among us.
DAILY FODDER
Why do you think that God would want to live around people like us when he has a high and holy place of his own?
PRAYER
Holy God, it is difficult to imagine why you'd want to be around us. We're such failures when it comes to living out your will. Renew us through your presence so that your agenda becomes our agenda. I can't understand your gracious approach to us but I'm going to enjoy it and celebrate your presence. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
