our daily bread - trusting Him for a place to lay our heads
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread...Matthew 6:9-11.
As they were going along the road, someone said to him, I will follow you wherever you go. 58 And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. Luke 9:57-58.Our Father,
So many of us do have places to lay our heads.
Let us not forget how Jesus, though in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with You, but He willingly left His heavenly home to take on flesh and walk this earth.
Jesus, how You trusted Your Father!
May Your Spirit grow such trust in us!Let us not forget how the head of the King of kings was lain on hay in a manger.
Jesus, how You trusted Your Father!
May Your Spirit grow such trust in us!Let us not forget the one whose glory was seen with Moses and Elijah had nowhere to lay His head on this earth.
Jesus, how You trusted Your Father!
May Your Spirit grow such trust in us!Let us not forget how our Savior allowed His head to be crowned with thorns.
Jesus, how You trusted Your Father!
May Your Spirit grow such trust in us!Our Father,
May the Spirit of Your Son dwell in us and work in us to trust You, our Father, just as Jesus trusted You.
We are Your sons and daughters,
Jesus, how You trusted Your Father!
May Your Spirit grow such trust in us!May we trust You as our Father!
Jesus, how You trusted Your Father!
May Your Spirit grow such trust in us!Amen.
Reflect now on Jesus' total trust of His Father.
Ask Him to work that trust in you by His Spirit.

yes. amen. Jesus how good to know that we can trust you in all things.
how good to know that you are always faithful even when we are not
how good to know that you care about all our hurts, heartaches, pains and sorrows
how good to know how wise you are. our earthly wisdom does not even compare.
how good to know that you are always more than enough to handle every thing that comes our way
how good to know how you care for us; that we are precious even if the world doesn't always recognize us as such
how good to know that you are close to the broken-hearted, the homeless, the sick, the elderly, the aliens in foreign lands, the widowed, the single mothers, the despised, the rejected, the lost, the ignored, the shattered, the prisoners, the abandoned babies, the orphans, the wounded. i pray we always have soft and willing hearts to serve and love them. in Jesus' name. amen. <3
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
@YouTOme - Amen and Amen.
We praise You, O God, that You are a God of compassion, a God who weeps, a God who tenderly cares for the scattered and battered sheep.
