Then he said, "If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance." – Exodus 34v9
'I launch my bark on the unknown waters of this year, with Thee, O Father, as my harbour, Thee, O Son as my helm, Thee O Holy Spirit, filling my sails.'
These words from 'The Valley of Vision' came to my mind this morning as I read over Moses' prayer as God's Law for His people was established.
I find these thoughts apprpriate as we launch our barks on 2010. None of us has any idea what this year will bring. Our lives may change at any moment. Michelle's illness has reminded me of just how quickly everything can change.
If God does not go among us this year what hope do we have?
As we enter the year ahead may we, from the words of the book mentioned above have God's:
Grace to sanctify us
Comforts to cheer us
Wisdom to teach us
Right hand to guide us
Counsel to instruct us
Law to judge us, and His
Precense to stabilize us
