Psalm 18 : 25-27

With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.

[wendelmyer]

Holy Father, Blessed are you Lord above all. You are the creator of heaven and earth. As I look outside at the painted sunset I am awestruck at the beauty of it all. I too like the psalmist ask the question. What is man that thou art mindful of him? O Lord how excellent is thy name in all the earth. Your loving kindness is better than life and we shall lift our hands up in praise.

As we pray for our President, we pray that he would not get tangled up in trivial things, but rather see the bigger picture and endure. You have set him on his course and you are running with him. May he rely on your presence as he carries out his duties. Bless him Father and keep him safe from harm. Lord, be with our military persons. Guide their actions and give them a victory against the enemy.

Father bless all who come this way to pray. So many faithful prayer warriors, what a blessing is it is to have a place like this to pray. We pray these things in your Son’s holy and precious name, amen.

God’s Tears

READ: John 11:28-37

Jesus wept. —John 11:35

In C. S. Lewis’ story The Magician’s Nephew, Digory recalled his terminally ill mother and how his hopes were all dying away. With a lump in his throat and tears in his eyes, he blurted out to Aslan, the great lion who represents Christ, “Please, please—won’t you—can’t you give me something that will cure Mother?”

Then, in his despair, Digory looked up at Aslan’s face. “Great shining tears stood in the Lion’s eyes. They were such big, bright tears compared with Digory’s own that for a moment he felt as if the Lion must really be sorrier about his Mother than he was himself. ‘My son, my son,’ said Aslan. ‘I know. Grief is great. Only you and I in this land know that yet. Let us be good to one another.’”

I think of Jesus’ tears at Lazarus’ grave (John 11:35). I believe He wept for Lazarus as well as for Mary and Martha and their grief. Later, Jesus wept over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41-44). And He knows and shares our grief today. But as He promised, we will see Him again in the place He’s preparing for us (John 14:3). In heaven, our grief will end. “God will wipe away every tear from [our] eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying” (Rev. 21:4).

Until then, know that God weeps with you.

He knows our burdens and our crosses,
Those things that hurt, our trials and losses,
He cares for every soul that cries,
God wipes the tears from weeping eyes.  —Brandt

If you doubt that Jesus cares, remember His tears.

Bible in One Year: Matthew 7–11; Proverbs 5:1-14
