Pastor Gilbert facilitated the 2 - 6 am session this morning. It was great seeing Willie again at 4am today. Decided not to take the 2-4am slot, because gotta come back to work. Still, it's great to see somebody other than the facilitator come and anchor the 2-4 am slot ("the graveyard shift", as my friends and I call it when we anchored it the first 2 years).
This morning was a bit harder to stay awake, and I forgot my pen too! Didn't get to write down more stuff, as there were not enough pens. Still, am grateful to God for the following take-aways:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exodus 17:8-16
The Amalekites Defeatedverse 10: Moses , Aaron & Hur - Why 3 people? Why not just Moses?
So that man may not boast
verse 14: Make sure Joshua hears it - so that the LORD is glorified
verse 15: The LORD is my Banner - no physical banner, yet hands were lifted up to the throne of God
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Praying from a position of victory and humility & brokeness - Is that possible?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight
- Prov. 3:5-6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
- Psalm 56:11
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
- 2 Corinthians 1:9
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- Ephesians 2:10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psalm 63 A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.
1 O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9 They who seek my life will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God's name will praise him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
