Relational Devotion #24 [He prays]
My trip to Oklahoma yesterday went well. I met some OK forum women and talked to a lot of other people, too. I was away from home over 12 hours, so I am still pretty tuckered. However, God helped me to rewrite today's devotional. Please share how life is going for you.
Relational Devotion #24 [He prays]
John Chapter 17
Please read this on your own, in your Bible or at www.BibleGateway.com.
Jesus is our high priest and intercessor (Hebrews 8:1-6). He makes God’s will known to us and our heartfelt needs known to God. Jesus’ words and deeds reveal God’s mercy, justice, glory, truth, and His desire to establish a personal relationship with each of us. Jesus intercedes with God the Father on our behalf, bringing our needs and requests continually before God. He prays that we would know His perfect joy, be protected from all evil, grow in truth and holiness, and show love toward all people.
What this has to do with weight loss: While Jesus prayed this prayer for His twelve disciples as they faced His imminent death, this prayer is for all of us, even as we follow Jesus through the sometimes discouraging weight-loss process. We are not alone.
Today, reflect on the fact that Jesus “is touched by the feelings of [YOUR] infirmities,” ALL your “infirmities.” Whatever concerns you concerns Him, and He “ever lives to make intercession for YOU."
