I have felt the LORD leading me to open my home for anyone who loves any child to come and lift them before the throne of God. So, tonight is the first meeting. I am so excited!!! And a little nervous too. I have been reading in Exodus - about Moses and his call to lead the Israelites out of Egypt - and how he was so doubtful of his abilities. That is how I have felt about this. Completely unable. God is so good. He has and continues to equip me for this. The LORD has really bolstered my courage with my devotion this morning. It is entitled "Help Needed". The Scripture comes from Hebrews 4:9-16:
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[a] just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[b] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
When help is needed, Christian brothers and sisters are a great resource, however, our greatest resource is PRAYER! Seeking help from our Heavenly Father. The devotion says "At such times [troubling times], our greatest resource is prayer - for it brings us into the very presence of God. There we find, in His mercy and grace, the help we need." Oh man! There is no place like the presence of God. That is where I belong.
