LBW #476, “Have No Fear, Little Flock”
Devotion
“Praise the Lord high above, for he stoops down to heal you, uplift and restore you.” God is a loving salvager who can take the most severely wrecked heap from the junkyard and restore it to mint condition. No matter how “wrecked” we might regard ourselves, there is hope. Praise God!
“Thankful hearts raise to God, for he stays close beside you, in all things works with you.” God not only restores us, God also brings us into a wonderful partnership in which all the capital, the tools, the training and the opportunities are provided by God.
What a deal! It is a partnership that can’t fail. Thank you, God, for being so generous, resourceful and helpful!
Prayer
Dear God, you are so high and, yet, so near. Thank you for rescuing and restoring us. Thank you for taking us into partnership to serve on your search and rescue team. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
