The Beginning of My September Journey
Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,
I have begun my September journey with the Lord. I started this many years ago - the month of September I fast from some things and I find times in the day to draw close to the LORD. This year the first of September fell on a Monday and it was a holiday for me. I took the extra day off from work with gladness. Another day to walk along Alii Drive and take in all the sites and sounds of the island.
This past weekend they had canoe races. Standing at the pier and watching the 6 man canoe teams sitting in the water waiting for the flag to wave for the start is really a majestic thing to see. All the hours of practicing and all the sacrifices made just for the chance to win the race - to be able to covet the first place prize.
I did not think of my September journey as such, but in writing this post my thinking has changed. Yes, the month of September is spent with the Lord. This is very hard to do at times because of life. Finding the time to still myself before the Lord seems to elude me. But I will take this time to practice and sacrifice.
The best part of this journey is the vision that the Lord gives me in the beginning. This vision is - A leather knapsack is sitting next to me and the Lord hands it to me telling me that this is everything I need for my day's journey. Sometmes the vision is that He extends His hand and takes mine, other times it has been Him telling me to walk with Him, but I always have the knapsack.
Abba Father, Praise thee for each day. How gracious and merciful art thou Lord that You supply our 24 hour day with everything we need for it. Great is Your Love for us. I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ today - Lord may the provisions of this day for her be filled with Your Precious Tender Mercies, may they be overflowing in abundance and bring such Joy and Peace into her life that her family and friends would say of her - she is blessed and the favor of the Lord is upon her. In Jesus Name, Amen.
