My prayer for Cathy, our Bible Study Fellowship teaching leader, is from the last verse of the last chapter of our focused book, Matthew. It's also my verse for this "Meditation Monday." I value the truth contained in the verse. The truth of my need to not only understand the commands of the Lord through more study of His word BUT also to obey what I already understand from Jesus's words:
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20, NLT)
As Christians, ministry is ongoing for all of us. We are to be His hands and feet as we love Him and obey His teachings. That love for Him will overflow allowing us to love and benefit others. Yet, as this verse reminds us He is always with us in this endeavor.
His Presence always! His continual Presence---we can be sure of this. That's affirming and worthy of continuing meditation.
