DEVOTION:  John 16:23-33   English Standard Version (ESV)
23 In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
 
25 "I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.[a] 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father."
29 His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! 30 Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God." 31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
 
Remember the song "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden"?  Every time I read or hear Jesus' words in this reading I can't help but think of that song.  Truth is that Jesus never promised us prosperity or financial stability in this world.  He never told us that everything would be peachy while we live here on this earth.  In fact, he really promises just the opposite.  He promises hardship, trouble, persecution, and He even promised the disciples that they would die for His name's sake. 
 
Another way to put it is that God doesn't always calm the storms of our lives.  he doesn't always fix our circumstances.  He isn't necessarily going to get rid of the bullies.  He isn't necessarily going to make your job more enjoyable or your boss more favorable toward you.  That's why when you ask for these physical earthly things you always should ask them with the statement "If it be Your will." to remind yourself that not everything you want is always what God wants.  He may just want you to suffer, or to go through a tough time so that He can grow your faith and make you stronger.  Also, none of us is going to escape this world alive, so to think that it is always God's will to deliver us from injury and disease is just silly.  Ultimately He will deliver us all from these things through physical death which leads to eternal life!
 
Let this be a lesson to you.  When you don't know how to pray, pray the Lord's prayer.  In everything know that, "In this world you will have trouble, but TAKE HEART, I (Jesus) have overcome the world!"
 
Prayer: Lord, bless help me to realize that You aren't ever against me when things go wrong, but that sometimes it is Your will that I go through them to grow.  Amen.

DEVOTIONRevelation 21:9-14  English Standard Version (ESV)
 
"The New Jerusalem"
Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
 
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, 25 and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
 
 
The3 number 12, throughout the Bible, is a number that refers to the people of God.  In the Old Testament it was the number of the tribes of Israel.  In the New Testament it was the disciples/apostles.  Even after Judas betrayed Jesus and then went and killed himself, the rest of the apostles made sure someone took his place so there would be twelve. 
 
So, in our reading, when it says that the city is basically made up of twelve of everything, it is saying that the city is made up of the people of God.  The people are what make the place.  The people are what make the church as well. 
 
I'm Facebook friends with a pastor in Africa named Simon Peter Waako.  He is a Lutheran pastor in Uganda.  The church buildings  he preaches and teaches at are not much to behold compared to the ornate building we have at St. John's.  Yet, because Simon is speaking God's Word and because the Holy Spirit is working through him the churches are growing.  I'm not sure how many churches he has right now.  I think it's 4 or 5.  He travels hundreds of miles every week.  Yet, because it is about the people and not the building and because God's Word is being preached to people and people are hearing it and believing it, the church is growing!  That's how it works. 
 
Just think of the number of people that will be in paradise with us who believe!  It is an unimaginable number!  Think of the joy we will experience when we see all the people that have gone before us into heaven.  Oh what joy it will be!
 
Prayer: Lord, when I get bogged down by this world and its seemingly endless tasks, help me to remember that all the people of God will join You one day in paradise!  Amen.

Below is my plan for this year's fundraising for LeadaChild.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR PLEDGES AN DONATIONS
 

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,


 


 


This is Pastor Jeremy, and we have been blessed beyond measure in the United States haven't we?  I want you to join me in making a global difference by releasing children from poverty through Christian education.


 


Instead of taking a week off and joining my fellow Lead a Child bikers who are riding the Fault Line across four states this year,  I have decided to go solo and bike 1,000 miles locally and while on vacation by August 1 to raise funds for LeadaChild. Would you sponsor me so that I can raise funds to support this most worthy organization?  In my opinion, there is no more worthy organization to support than LeadaChild!


 


LeadaChild  provides educational assistance to over 26,000 children and shares the love of Jesus Christ with the students and their families! LeadaChild supports the poorest of the poor children through Christian education in the following countries:


Guatemala                    Chad                       Honduras               Palestine               Haiti             Uganda


Gambia                          Ivory Coast            El Salvador            Nigeria                   Panama       Nicaragua


Burma                            Ghana                     Chile                       Venezuela             Bolivia         Mexico


Liberia                            Uruguay                Sri Lanka                India                       Guinea        Sierra Leone   


Bangladesh                   Cambodia              South Africa         Togo                       Thailand



These students need your help to find a way out of poverty through Christian education and learn of the hope of Christ our Savior.
