Day 263

Scripture:

Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back, but my face must not be seen”.

– Exodus 33:21-23 (NIV)

Are there times when you question God? You pray, but hear nothing and see no answers to your prayers? Maybe God is at work and His plan is more than you are able to understand at the time. Sometimes we feel that God is not near, only to see in hindsight that He was there the whole time, protecting us and working out His good and perfect plan. Ask Him to reveal Himself and then wait under His protective hand.

Prayer: Lord, help me be patient and know that even though I cannot understand your plan and timing, You will reveal it to me in your perfect time. Thank You for protecting me until it is safe to see Your glory.

Petition: For our nursery staff at both campuses. That the Lord will encourage and sustain them. For them to feel God’s love for them. For God to give them His love for the children in their care.
