This Week’s Devotional

Pentecost Study

The Ten Days of Waiting

They walked back down the Mount of Olives the way they had come. A Sabbath day's journey — roughly a mile — between the mountain of the Ascension and the city of the locked room. Behind them, the sky was ordinary again. The cloud had gone. Ahead of them, Jerusalem was alive with the noise and colour of the approaching Feast of Weeks. It was Sivan, the third month on the Hebrew calendar. The wheat harvest was ripening across Judea and Galilee. In a week's time, Jerusalem would swell to several times its normal population — pilgrims arriving from every corner of the Roman Empire and beyond, speaking fifteen languages between them, all converging on the Temple courts to offer the firstfruits of the wheat harvest and to remember the day, fifteen centuries earlier, when God had descended on a smoking mountain and given his Law to a nation.

Sit With This This Week

“Sometimes I have moments where I have my quiet conversations with God and he drops something on me. How many times we forget God is God? See all existence could disappear in a second if God wanted it. I forget how grand he is, how Holy, How absolutely awesome and most importantly, (Thank God) How loving. So are there any areas in your life you need to remind yourself that Our God, is the God of Gods, the King of Kings, who are we, but just mere vapour, but he makes us more, he loves us with an everlasting love and sometimes we need to remember, just like Job needed reminding and have that moment of reverence to an amazing God, who is all powerful and still chose you. ”

Pray With Me

Dear Father, Lord of Hosts, We sometimes use you as our genies, we are so transfixed on our problems and goals and things we want, that we sometimes get distracted and forget that we should be in a position to bow at your feet. Yet it is because of that love, that sacrifice, that we feel safe in you and sometimes lose sight in your sheer amazingness. Please lord, open my eyes to see you at work, to see your glory, let us be transfixed by you rather than our screens. Help us get closer to you and bet eternally grateful that you have made a way that we could be close to you, but let us not use that as an excuse to overlook you today.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
