What matters
May 4, 2020
One morning Immersed in Paul’s letters written in prison, I was struck by this contrast.
My state is on alert to stay in, travel only for necessities, gather with no one except those in your household. And that’s just the short list of restrictions. Paul could not travel at all. We are forced to face the question: what matters?
My Lord Jesus, my friend is with me. I am in His presence, no restrictions. He communicates with me what is important for me to hear today in my present circumstances, no spin or partiality. He knew ALL about today from the beginning of time. He hears my many prayers for our President, our countries leaders, our church, our village, my family, my opportunities to speak of Him and His faithfulness. Paul wrote, we pray.
