Daily Devotions for Tuesday 1st March, 2022

Upper Room day – time out with God

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : LEVITICUS chapter 1

Meditation : consider this chapter… at the start of your day.
Sacrifices burnt whole.
What is God teaching/reminding you about what He expected?
How do these words relate to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross?

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to thank God for His gift of the perfect sacrifice.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I have read these words
And now I pray for you to work them out
as a living reality in my life – even today
as I thank you that you are with me
on my journey through life.
O fill me with an attitude
Of gratitude!
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from LEVITICUS chapter 1

Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes

LORD God, our great God,
Thank you for Jesus – the perfect sacrifice.
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
