August 3, 2005

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things
exsist.

Colossians 1:16:17 KJV

I thank you that you are the God that created all things. Thank you that by you all things exist. Father, I thank you that you are above all things. Forgive us when we forget that. Forgive us for the way that we let friends, work, play, money, or whatever take the place of importance in our life. Forgive us for the way we let things distract us from what we were made – worshiping and honoring you! Heal us, Lord!

Today I want to thank you for the Roadies and Truckies at Sun Grove. Thank you for their willingness to set up and take down everything for Sunday services. Encourage them and let them know that you are using their hands to glorify Yourself.. Help them not to grow weary of well doing. Keep them safe. Encourage them.

Father, I ask that you be with their families. Draw these faithful closer to you. Teach them about being faithful in the little things, so that you can bless them with bigger things.

Be with Scott and help him plan the logistics of the set up each week. Help him to hear you and understand the details that make each Sunday special. Surround Scott’s family and draw them close to you. Teach them to trust that you are the creator and keeper of all things. Give Scott an extra dose of patience.

Be with Scott, the Roadies and the Truckies that they can see your hand working in their lives. Encourage them to SEE you moving in all the details and business of the lives. Give them joy because of their faithfulness to you.

I pray this in Christ name,
amen
