JOURNEYING WITH GOD

DEUTERONOMY 1:31 (NLT)
And you saw how the LORD your God cared for you all along the way as you traveled through the wilderness, just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place.

LUKE 24:35 (CEB)
Then the two disciples described what had happened along the road and how Jesus was made known to them as he broke the bread.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God reveals himself through his words and actions as we journey tother with him. 

DAILY FODDER
So many of us want God to answer all our questions before journeying with him, without realizing that he reveals what we need to know as we journey with him.

PRAYER
Ever-present God, thank you for spending time with us along the road of life. I confess that I am so short-sighted that I'm only interested in hearing about things that will speed up the journey. Help me to value the time we spend together sauntering along. I'm eager to hear what you say and see what you want to show. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
