Today and Every Day Lord

Today and everyday Lord, thank you for trials and tribulations,

Thank you for my insecurities and my doubts,

Thank you for the financial hardships,

Thank you for the pain in my back,

Thank you for the attacks to my faith,

Thank you for the tests of my convictions,

 For it is only through all of these that I understand that through my trials and tribulations are my insecurities and doubts turned to confidence and trust. In my financial hardships you give me the ability to work until my back is sore. And while I am attacked for my faith both covertly and overtly I grow stronger in the belief that you, JESUS are the way the truth and the Life, that greater is He who is in me then he who is in the world. I am most thankful for the Love You had for me that through all of this I can know that   Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Come and see!

“Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”-Matthew

28:6.

Standing vigil in front of the tomb, the Angles , like the American soldiers guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier, called excitedly to the disciples to come and see the hallowed ground where our  Lord Jesus Christ was placed.

On a recent trip to the World trade center and the 911 monument, I was astonished to see how many people will stand in reverend silence on the hallowed ground that bore so many sacrifices. They come from all over the globe just to stand on the spot to feel a connection to those events. And I noticed almost everyone I witnessed was emotionally affected by their time on that spot. They all came away with a deeper reverence of those events far beyond what they may have read or watched.

Although one can say that all of the places that Jesus spoke, taught and preformed miracles, are revenant, no one spot garners such reverence as the place where Jesus was laid. This spot that can only be seen through the pages of scripture is the most hallowed of them all. The Angles rejoice to show followers of the Messiah His place of resurrection while guarding it from those who would deface such a place .Even though we may not now know the actual place of this resurrection, the Holy Spirit has protected its eternal place in history thought the pages of scripture.

Today pick up your Bible and stand on that hallowed ground, let the Holy Spirit show you the “the place where the Lord lay”. I promise you will come away emotionally affected by your time on that spot.
