Today finds me completely drained – not in a bad way but a “thank you, God, for helping me hear You call and try to give my all” way. So many, many culminations were conferred by God this week. Though my soul cried praise to my eternal God, my heart and eyes cried tears at the reality that minutes on earth are short lived.
Exhausted, and on my 6th plane ride in half as many days, I found myself at the refueling pump of basking in the recitation of how Jesus taught us all to pray. “Our Father… deliver us from evil”. Suddenly my energy, momentarily, rebounded and I chuckled out loud. A line of my own I had, inadvertently, added to the prayer Jesus taught us all. Herein rests the short message I share this week.
“Our Father … Deliver us from evil”; and, Dear Lord, when it is beyond me, at any given moment, to act like Christ, please, at least keep me from acting like the devil. Amen.
