so much love

Holy God,

Thank You. You provide us with so much love. Speak to me on this please. Mm, yes. Speak to me regarding Your love for Your people.

Moses and new stone tablets (Exodus 34:4-7 The Message). Jesus sending disciples out as sheep among wolves (Matthew 10:16, 21-23). And Paul’s call to generous giving (2 Corinthians 8:7 The Living Bible).

Obedient to Your command, Moses cut the two replacement tablets, got up early and carried them with him as he climbed up Mount Sinai. All this so he could meet with You.

My mind boggles at the thought Dear Lord. Taking verses 5 and 6 into account I truly am AGOG with wonder. You coming down in a pillar of cloud, passing in front of him. Calling out Your own name (5).

“GOD, GOD, a God of mercy and grace, endlessly patient - so much love, so deeply true - loyal in love for a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, rebellion, and sin. Still, He doesn’t ignore sin. He holds sons and grandsons responsible for a father’s sins to the third and even fourth generation.”

So much love. Mercy. Grace. Forgiveness. We are in need of all these Lord!

Beginning a weekend of brand new territory, we are asking You to fully encompass each of us. Go before, behind, beside, beneath, above and within us both. Completely protecting us with YOUR “so much love.”

Use us exactly as You know is best. Living in and sharing so much love with others. Thank You Father. Praise You. We love You. Amen.
