I Am But a Jar of Clay. Empower Me, Spirit of God

Posted by Nan Jones | Mar 10, 2024 | Uncategorized |

Father, You are my everything. Your faithfulness to me astounds me and Your abiding presence gives me strength to face life’s trials. Some days I feel very fragile and vulnerable, but then I remember … You are the Potter and I am the clay. I am but a jar of clay filled with the power of Your beautiful Spirit.

I may be pressed on every side, but I am not crushed because You are within me. I cannot be driven to despair unless I look away from You and rely on my own strength because You are my hope and my joy. When I get knocked down, You pick me up and put me back together again.

A Sliver of Glory in the Quiet Darkness

I sat in the quiet darkness by the light of a candle. A warm glow — a sliver of glory — peeked over the mountain ridge. All else lay in the ebony of night that remained. I shifted my gaze northward where stars still twinkled and faraway galaxies gave a hint of purple majesty in the depths of the sky bursting with dawn.

The morning star outshone them all.

You Are a Shield About Me. Surround Me, Lord

Father, from the depths of my heart I cry out to You … and You hear me. You are not only a shield, You are my shield — my protector and defender.

You are the Keeper of my soul.

Whenever I feel afraid of uncertain days, whenever anxiety overwhelms me, I remember … I remember that You, O Lord, are a shield about me, the glory and the lifter of my head.

When Dense Fog Obscures the Rising Sun, Where is God?

Posted by Nan Jones | Feb 29, 2024 | Uncategorized |

Oyster-gray clouds, low and heavy, shrouded the mountain. Dense fog had descended in the early morning hours, obscuring the rising sun and its swath of glorious color.

Expected color turned to gray.

Faithful light grew dim.

Deep inside, my spirit stirred as my thoughts resonated with the scene outside my window.

Uphold Me, Preserve, and Sustain Me, Lord. I Need You

Posted by Nan Jones | Feb 25, 2024 | Uncategorized |

Father, the more I know You the more I love You. The more I understand who You are, the more I realize how much I need You. Uphold me, Lord … preserve and sustain me.

The world I know is changing as evil seeps into every crevice, blanketing the landscape. But Lord, You haven’t changed. You remain faithful and very much in control.
