TODAY'S DEVOTION:

Food can go from sweet to sour. When time has its effect on food, it begins to ferment. And the fermenting in the stomach can create an ache within. The scroll that John is given to eat is sweet. But the promises that are sweet can take time to be fulfilled. More time than we want. And this waiting can create an ache within. We are pained with the desire for fulfillment of the sweet promise of God.

We are sick with desire for an end to evil, pain, war, abuse, injustice, and all that's wrong with this broken world. We are aching for deliverance.

Like a mother who's delivering a child, the excruciating pain will give way to something new and beautiful. The sweet taste in our mouth is a reminder of the sweet promise of life. But there will be a long ache before it breaks forth into completion.

This is not the last time we see God giving food to his servants. There is a feast in store. Revelation 19:7 tells us, Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb. Waiting will be over and we will ache no more. The sweetness of God's promise will prove to be true.

We will see with clarity like never before that his life is a sweet gift. And we will be honored to come and sit at his table. See the sweet promises of God. Taste and see that they are good even though the ache for our deliverance comes.

And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will take and eat, that I will wait with expectant and joyful hope for that day to come. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.  

Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.  

And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen

And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.
