Devotional Reflection
I sometimes wish I had the pillar of fire at night and the cloud during the day to guide me through this world, like the Israelites did when they were wandering in the desert. But I am reminded that God is always with me through the Holy Spirit and that He has promised to never leave me. I believe that if I seek His glory, He will put me where I need to be to do His will and bless me in the ways that will help me the most in this life and the next.
Prayer
O heavenly Father, capture my heart to do Your work and never let me lose sight of Your coming glory. Lead me to the places You want me to be, to the ministries You want me to serve, and to the people You most want me to touch. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
I often wish for a pillar of fire at night and a cloud by day to lead me through this world, just as the Israelites had throughout their wilderness wanderings. But I am reminded of God's constant presence in the Spirit, as well as His vow to never abandon me. I believe that if I seek His glory, He will lead me to where I need to go to perform His will and bless me in the ways that will be most beneficial to me in this life and the next.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, lead me to the places You want me to be, the ministries You want me to serve in, and the people You want me to touch the most. Help me to desire to do Your work, and don't let me lose sight of the glory You're going to bring. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
