Finally the Israelites approach the borders of the Promised Land. Moses had send some men to explore the land of Cannan. One of the result was, Cannan is inhabited by powerful groups of people who seem to have firm control of the land. The men who had gone up were scare and defeated just by what they see. On the contrary, Caleb, one of the men that Moses sent chooses to see it differently. When he looks at the land, rather than seeing strong people, he sees a God who saved and provided for his ancestor. To Caleb, no people or cities can pose even the smallest threat to God's power. Caleb knows that God's promise far outweighs the threat of any form of earthly power.
Let's pray for our President today that he will know who is in control and outweighs the threat of any form of earthly power.
Today the Lord also helps me see Teddy through his eyes rather than my own.
Teddy is seeking for love; He is seeking for change; He is seeking for support; He is seeking for help to provide for the family.
Lord, I know you are the God that give Teddy more than 30 years of life; you are the one that provides for him. Despite all the wrong doings, he is still in one piece. You are the one that give him the fatherly love to TJ. You are the one that provide him with Melissa that can share his life with.
Lord, I might not know or enjoy the puzzles of my life, help me to step back and take my eyes off unpresent circumstances and see opportunities for Teddy to change which is a greater purpose in your eyes.
Amen.
