Day 087

 

Father, 

The land You gave Your people is diverse and magnificent! From the desert and its salt sea to the lush green rolling hills with palm trees and bananas and roses, to the snow-capped mountains — all in a space the size of New Jersey! Your creativity and Your love for diversity is on display in Israel, God, and we praise You for it. We are a diverse people who have been adopted into Your family—as different as the deserts are from the mountains—and yet we share the most important thing in common: we’re marked as YOURS.  

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of balking at the diversity of Your people, of thinking we belong in Your family but those who aren’t like us don’t. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. 

Like the Israelites who had to wait 40 years for their land, we are impatient by nature. Would You remind us today that Your perfect plan unfolds on Your timing, and Your schedule has no flaws or delay? Please give us peace when we don’t understand Your timeline or become frustrated by what appears to be a wrinkle in our plan. Your plan is superior to ours.

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
