A Light Unto the World
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind......
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying,"I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
Welcome
“God has heard your prayer…” Acts 10:31
I know that this is part of our new times, but I still get a little amused when people walk by talking on their hands-free phone. There once was a time when walking by yourself in public and talking out loud was something that you just did not do (not without getting strange looks).
Yesterday Pat was in a store and I sat outside to rest my knee. A woman walked by whispering as she passed. She must have thought that she needed to explain herself. With a soft-spoken voice and a tear in her eyes, she said, “I’m praying for peace.”
I thought as she continued her walk, “There is the salt of the earth.” I know that many things are being done to call for an end to injustice. What this woman was doing is more powerful than we can imagine: she was in touch with the very throne of God.
We may be tempted to underestimate the power of simple prayer. Some are also tempted to believe that the power of change is solely in our hands, but it will be just more vanity under the sun if it is attempted without God’s help.
If our prayer life is being lulled to sleep while the world is getting louder; it is time to hear the Lord’s wake up call. If we are being made to think that prayer is a little ineffective thing, just remember what God can do with little things. Little things in the hands of faithful believers take down Goliaths, feed thousands, and turn an upside-down world right side up again. As Tennyson wrote, “Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of: Wherefore, let thy voice, rise like a fountain for me night and day.”
“Now let us have a little talk with Jesus…”
Grace and Peace, Rev Ray

A Prayer of Hope
Lord, I maintain my hope in You and I hold onto the assurance that what I am praying for is already accomplished in the name of Jesus. Your Word promises “no good thing does He withhold from those that walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11). I wait upon You for Your definition of the “good thing” You will not withhold from me. As David prayed in Psalm 18:1: “I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer, my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Amen
