My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Arthur Jackson … AT THIS LINK … wrote of a ministry friend, who made reference to the physical challenges of his aging life by saying that he was ‘feeling dusty,” … a reference to the reality that we are born of “the dust” and will return to it thru our aging years.
I don’t know about you here reading with me; but I’m feeling “pretty dusty” today. But I know and trust that I serve a caring and compassionate God Who will provide His loving mercy and empowering grace to help me deal with the aches/pains of life.
So, I pray that all here with me recognize that our God cares for His children and will even extend His sufficient grace to cover our weakness when we’re willing to lean on Him in times of struggle or pain. Take in and meditate on the scriptures above, my friends, … especially if you’re feeling a bit “dusty” as I am today.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your grace with covers my weakness.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to cast all our cares on You, Lord, because You care for us. Amen
