DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT
Missy Buchanan
Living with Purpose in a Worn-Out Body
I HAVE SEEN the many wonders of your world, O God.
Not so long ago, I picked wildflowers in green meadows and hopscotched through mountains streams.
I wiggled my toes in sugar-white sand and lifted my face to the saltwater spray. Your creation is so vast; the universe so grand.
But now, my world is whittled down to a comfortable apartment in a senior complex where walkers and power chairs navigate the sidewalks like Gondolas on the Grand Canal. My days are anchored to an easy chair, with only trips to the doctor and special occasions to take me beyond this place that is home.
Though I am limited by space and physical mobility, my God is not.
Daily I am reminded that this is my Father’s world.
Around the corner I catch the fragrance of a rose, drifting on a warm breeze.
I celebrate the pattern of shadow and light created by the sun shining through porch railings.
These simple things point me to you, O God, Creator of all.
Thank you for your love and protection.
THE DOOR IS OPEN
TEACHING
Keep in mind this journey we will all have to walk to get back to the sacred place with the MOST HIGH. Know you must be born again, you have to be baptized with the unlimited power of the MOST HIGH, you will do great things on the land thru the unlimited power given you, You will feel the sensation of being alone in the fight, you will not be accepted by some, people that do not understand the unlimited power you operate under will call you a liar, try to destroy you, rip you to shreds, discredit you on the land, and even attempt to shut you up.
Know the cup of Jesus you shall indeed drink of and if you can endure the journey eternal life is your reward. Jesus showed us the way from physical birth to spiritual birth and every step in between. Be confident you do not walk your journey in vain physically, mentally, as well as spiritually you will have what you need on the land just like Jesus did and when adversity stands before you rebuke it in the name of Jesus[Ruler of Salvation] Christ[the Anointed One].
Know that Calvary was needed so that you would be free to repeat this process free to repent, obey, and walk by faith. So right now today show your appreciation for the actions of Jesus bring your works of the flesh according to Galatians 5:19-21 lay them at the cross, be delivered set free of them, and walk away resurrected with the unlimited power of the MOST HIGH like Jesus did when he rose out of the tomb on the third day the world put him in to eternal life with his Father beyond the sky.
