Day 83: Judges 6-7; Psalm 83
by Jonathan Merki on March 23rd, 2024
LORD,Like Gideon, what You call us to may not always make sense to us. That he sent tens of thousands of warriors home and fought a battle with 300 (Judges 6-7) became an act of shear obedience and total surrender. You were true to Your promise. You always are! So, help us not to lean on our own understanding, to trust in our own resources, to depend on our own abilities. Help us to abandon oursel... Read More

by Jonathan Merki on March 18th, 2024
Today I am still reveling in the glory of Your presence in the gathering of Your children for worship...in the morning with the local Family, in the evening with the extended Family, we worshiped and You blessed us. Thank You that You remain true to Your promises. May we also remain true to our faith, our covenant, our confession of love. Today, may the overflow of our sabbath be our witness to th... Read More
