Hello everyone. Today there are two short reflections on the same theme:
Dust
“Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home” (Matthew 8:8; NLT).
Then Abraham spoke again. “Since I have begun, let me speak further to my Lord, even though I am but dust and ashes” (Genesis 18:27; NLT).
Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him (Deuteronomy 13:4; NLT).
…lead me along the path of everlasting life (Psalm 139:24; NLT).
Lord,
I am not worthy
To approach you.
Let me be a speck of dust
Clinging to your sandal,
So I can follow the path of everlasting life
In your presence every day.
Through Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Dust
For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust (Psalm 103:14; NLT).
If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen you your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave (Matthew 10:14; NLT).
Though they stumble they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand
(Psalm 37:24; NLT).
Lord,
You know how weak I am.
I’m only a speck of dust
Clinging to your sandal.
When I let you down,
Please don’t shake me off.
When I stumble,
Please don’t let me fall.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
