“Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road
and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:35)
What glorious joy that the transcendent God is intimately aware of everything that is happening in his creation, and specifically in your life at each moment. What a privilege we have that we can know the one who knows all things, and are loved by the one who knows everything. What amazing grace God shows to us, that in every season of life God quietly continues to walk beside us, ready to teach us from his Word if we are prepared to listen. We have received blessing up on blessing. God has blessed us with his word. God has blessed us with the Holy Spirit to comfort us and teach us in all things. God knowing our need for something tangible, has blessed us with communion – a tangible reminder of his gracious act of salvation and a promise of his coming return.
God invites you to share with him everything that is going on in your life right now. What strength and peace you will find when you commune with the Sovereign Lord of the Universe. How much safer it is to choose to walk with the one whose word is a lamp unto your feet. How much more satisfying it is choose to rest safely in the presence of the one who knows all things.
Allow God’s deep, deep love to envelope you. As you listen carefully to his Word, you will see beyond your situation and catch a glimpse of the mysterious workings of our God. Learn anew what it means to trust your Creator, the creator of this universe who makes no mistakes. Let the finished work of Christ on the cross, celebrated through communion, sustain you and strengthen you. Use the talents God has blessed you with to obediently take the next faithful step. Then the peace and joy of Christ will flood your soul. Then the world will know that our God lives. Then the world will know that our God reigns.
Prayer
Father, we thank you that you are intimately aware of every aspect of our life, and have promised to never leave you or forsake you. Forgive us when we carry our burdens on our own shoulders. May our hearts burn within us as you speak to us through your word. Grant us the strength to say "Thy will be done" in all things. Amen
