May You Know Him
Today (December 26) is a holiday in Canada and as such I am taking a break from writing a fresh devotional this week. However, I offer the following prayer that, although written several years ago, never leaves my heart for my brothers and sisters in Christ.
May you know Him as..
The God who sings over you and with you in Joy
The God who rejoices over you and with you.
The God whose mountains and hills break forth before you into singing;
and all the trees of His fields clap their hands
The God who walks beside you, delighting with you as He directs your every step.
May you know Him as..
The God who compassionately comforts you as a Father in all your troubles
The God who strengthens your inner man by His Spirit that is always with you.
The God who is your strength, your refuge and a very evident and present help.
The God who is your shield and protection when you are under attack.
The ever present God who is eternally your peace.
For unto us a child is born,
Unto us a son is given:
And the government shall be upon his shoulder:
And his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace. Isa 9:6
And that child grew up..
To become….
our Saviour.
Our Redeemer
Our Portion
Our Strong Tower
Our Friend.
