On The Brink

Like children excited to open their boxes at an Operation Christmas Child shoe box distribution, we wait...

Lord, here we are again on the brink of another miracle.  All year long we have prayed and waited and shopped and waited and hauled and waited.  We have loaded and unloaded and waited.  We cried to You in the night and sought You in the morning.

We asked for wisdom about whether to have a large packing party this year and we waited.  You answered us.  You directed us.  You challenged us.

And so...here we are again on the brink of another miracle.

Father, we put each of the treasures You have provided back into Your hand and ask You to put each one into the box where it belongs.

Jehovah Jireh give us full hands and full boxes and full hearts that spill over onto all the people who come from our community to pack these boxes with us.

We're on the brink and we look to You, Father.

We wait.

We pray according to Ephesians 3:20 in the same power that raised Jesus from the dead for immeasurably more.

Amen.
