Respite For the Weary
Thus says the Lord,
"Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not the rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things, " declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 9: 23-24
Dear Exercising God,
The cry of Your heart is for Your children to understand and know You! Continue to show my children who You are: a God who delights in lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness. May this become what they boast about, nothing else.
So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
Psalm 63: 4-7
Dear Lord,
Turn our mind towards you morning, noon, and night! When we start to feel anxious, fill us with your words of hope and peace. "Fatten us up" with your rich and abundant truths! Nothing about you is unhealthy--you are pure and good and right--and we can feast on your word as much as we want! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
