Bread for the Journey
For over 30 years, I would look forward to the start of school.
Whenever school supplies started showing up at the stores, a little thrill of excitement quivered through my body.
The smell of glue and the hunt for the right pair of paper scissors.
Crayons and colored pencils in every hue of color. With new ones appearing every so often.
And of course a new bag to carry every little thing.
The school year marks the progression of time. We grow older and we leave behind the things of our youth. We learn and move onward towards being an adult. Making our way in this thing we call life.
Yet spiritually, we never grow old. Even with the passing of years we hover in un-aging youth. Totally opposite of natural life. If we study God's word, seeking to be more Christlike, we become more like a little child. Simple. Childlike. Trust. Inevitably, we grow younger instead of older. Revelation 22:13 states, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." When we trust Jesus with child-like faith, we begin the journey of eternal childhood. It is my desire to lean on my heavenly Father with the faith of a child.
Trusting.
Learning.
Loving.

Prayer
"We cannot run our spiritual operations on the prayers of the past generations. Many people believe in the efficacy of prayer, but not many people pray. Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things. It is the simplest and the most sublime, the weakest and the most powerful. Its results lie outside the range of human possibilities; they are limited only by the omnipotence of God." E. M. Bounds on PrayerAnd he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray.
(Luke 18:1)

In the morning
"In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation."
Psalm 5:3
