DAY OF JUBILEE

ON-LINE PRAYER GROUP
Mandi is getting married today! Our youngest daughter, Amanda, is making a new beginning this afternoon, her day of Jubilee. Mandi and Zach are starting out with very little, as most young people have done over the years, but they have what matters, Love.

It reminded me of the Biblical, Year of Jubilee when all debts between the children of Israel where to be cancelled (Deut. 15:2). That is what Jesus Christ did for us. He cancelled all of our debts that matter. Let us all realize that each new day in the family of God, is a new beginning, a day to celebrate what Jesus did for us. His sacrifice cancelled all our debts that matter to God. Every day is a Day of Jubilee for those who believe and accept the gift Jesus willingly gave us. Let us pray:

“Our father God, your name is more precious than any jewel we thought had value. Your are holy and holy is your name. May we wake up each day into a Day of Jubilee, a new beginning that we recognize and accept. Then, we will truly live in your kingdom, for as Jesus said, it is at hand. Forgive us when we have thought our problems were insurmountable or were too large for you to heal. Nothing is beyond you, Father, when we truly realize what is important, what is durable, and what is enduring. Our part is so simple, to accept your love, acknowledge Christ’s sacrifice for us, and live in Love. In the name of Jesus Christ, your son, our Lord and Savior we pray. Amen.”
