Journal for 10/20…Remembering God

5:52 AM

Psalm 78:40-64

Father, You have done wondrous things for Your people -- not just Israel, but for the United States. Much like Israel of old, America has been blessed, protected, and filled with Your goodness. Yet, we have forgotten our roots, our spiritual heritage. We have become warped like a faulty bow (57) because of our rebellion against You. Forgive our sins, Lord…both national and personal.

There was a point, Lord when You abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh (60) -- the tent where You resided; where You met with Your people. I am Your tabernacle now. I am Your temple. I pray that You would fill this temple, this tent of meeting, with Your Spirit. Do not abandon me and leave me alone. In the Name of Jesus Christ, help me to present my body, Your temple, as a living sacrifice, and may I be holy and acceptable unto You (Rom 12.1). Renew my mind, for it surely has a bent toward the world without Your Word and Your Spirit.

The history of humanity, America, the church, and my family demonstrate Your grace, goodness and kindness…and patience. You love us/me more than I can ponder. May Your glory always shine through, Father. Thank You for all You have done…and all You will do.

I am second.~
