Daily Devotions for April 13th, 2020

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : HEBREWS 10 verses 35-39

Meditation : take the time to consider this passage…words about persevering.
What is God saying to you this morning?
What is your response to God’s Word today?

Pray in response – to our God , the God who does not delay
Looking again at verses 37 and 38

(Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and worship
Of confession and trust
Of need)

And then together…

O LORD our God,
Hear our prayers this day
As we lay ourselves before you
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessings on those who are still working near the Kirk
O LORD, have mercy on all we call out and pour rich blessings!

Evening
Reading : read the passage again prayerfully at the end of your day
Reflect….. and then pray to God in response

Father God, Eternal God,
hear my prayer this evening.
As I humbly name others before you.
As I call out to you for others in this uncertain time
As I lay myself and this world before you
In Jesus’ name. Amen

.

Good Friday at 3pm

We would normally be gathering with many others at this time on Good Friday to pause and remember Jesus on the Cross

You are invited to pause just now where you are

You are invited to follow the song links below….to prayerfully read through the passage….to ponder the images…to pray for and with others in our community.

To remember Jesus

There is a green hill far away

Romans 5 New International Version (NIV)
Peace and Hope

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
