“You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; the stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth. You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.” (Psalm 65:9-10)
All things move and have their being in the Lord. Apart from Him is nothing, and in and with Him is everything. Come then into the presence of the Lord and see life, its meaning and understand the One who causes all things to be. It is the One and only LORD who blesses all things and brings about the times and the seasons. Know the Lord and know life. He will water you and flow both into and out of you.
Lord, Your presence is all around and often I go about my day as if it were nothing. Guide me in the truth of reality which is You. Lead me to see from my depths that You alone give meaning, purpose and being. In You is everything and apart from You is nothing. Guide me, O Lord, according to Your purposes now and always that I would see and know that You alone are God.
Lord Jesus, God in the flesh, You have come that all who come by Your grace and the Father’s mercy would know life abundantly. Guide me through the Holy Spirit to see in You the hope and glory that You have come to share through what You have accomplished on the cross that I may live wholly in the truth You have revealed. Lead me now and always, my Savior, into the salvation You have prepared for those who come to You. Amen.
