God of hope, help me prepare the way for you in the wilderness of chaos. Give me strength, wisdom, and patience to clear a path for you through my cluttered heart and life. Amen.
Hope thrives in the wilderness.
I'm fascinated by life's ability to thrive in the midst of adversity. I took this photo several years ago in Colorado alongside a river. The fern grown in a dead tree reminded me that whether we're facing cancer or the wilderness of Advent, we seek life.
What is your wilderness?
The quote I picked for today is from one of The Upper Room's most popular books — Disciplines. This daily devotional book, published every year, is full of treasures. Fifty-three writers (leaders from throughout the Christian world) each take a week and write meditations based on the lectionary scriptures for that week.
Seeing young people, both men and women, participate in and write their testimonies at The Upper Room daily devotional writers’ workshop in Yangon, 2019, has been a highlight for me. The event and testimonies led to the publication of the first Lenten devotional in the Myanmar language. I truly believe that through The Upper Room ministry, the Lord will continue to equip people in Myanmar to grow and to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
