DEVOTION: "Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless. For the sake of His great name the Lord will not reject his people, because He was pleased to make you His own." The Story, p. 141
This weekend I got to see, once again, the power of God's Word and what praising God for a whole weekend can do. Although the kids didn't get a whole lot of sleep, and although they were cranky at times, I heard from many of them how wonderful and awesome it was. Many bought t-shirts and cds of the band. Many made new friends and reconnected with old ones. Many worked hard to help out. We got to meet the lady who is going to be our DCE intern next year, Miss Kelsey Overbeck, and most of all WE ALL GREW IN OUR FAITH AND GOT TO RECHARGE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS!
Now, the trick is to keep it going throughout the week. As the kids go back to school, back to the daily grind and the challenges of the world and their own sinful nature, we need to be continually praying for them and for their families and friends so that they can fight against the devil, the world, and their own sinful nature and so that they can continue to have peace and rest in Jesus!
In the same way we need to pray for ourselves and our own families for the same thing. It is so easy for us to turn to "worthless idols" and useless things to try to find satisfaction and peace. Satan is constantly putting temptation after temptation in front of us. Pray to the Lord of comfort and peace to fill you with His joy and forgiveness that you may fight against all of that and overcome to gain the victory!
Prayer: Lord God, bless us and keep us in our faith that we may continue to trust in you as we go back to our daily grind after a day of praising You and resting in You. Amen.
