God’s Billboard

1 Comment 20 May 2008

Press the arrow to listen to Hillsong sing Lord of Lords as you read today’s devotion.

Scripture

The heavens proclaim his righteousness;
every nation sees his glory.
Psalm 97:6

Observation

No nation can build a wall high enough to shut out the presence of God. The Iron Curtain did not keep God out, nor did the Berlin Wall. The heavens declare the glory of God and nothing can keep God from advertising on his billboard.

Application

Today I received an email from my friend, Pastor Bong, in Yangoon, Myanmar. He sent images of his Bible College and home decimated by the cyclone. The nation of Burma has closed its doors to help. I watched a news clip on CNN yesterday on the destruction there, and even CNN was so short of footage that they looped a short video clip again and again. There is a helpless feeling as I pray for the believers there. And yet this word gives me hope. God cannot be shut out. Even Burma will see his glory.

Prayer

Father, today I ask for the people of Myanmar, especially the believers there, that you would reveal yourself in unstoppable ways. Open the doors that aid can enter. Reveal yourself in the sky to them. Let that nation see your glory. Amen.

    God’s billboard. I do like that.

    And Julianna (my daughter) and I will pray for Pastor Bong tonight after her nighttime story.

I'm Phil McCallum, a husband, father and most of all one of the people Jesus loves. I'm privileged to serve Evergreen Community Church in Bothell, Washington as Senior Pastor where people love enough to believe "it's all about relationships." In 1982 I made a vow to read God's word daily and apply it to life. Each day I write out my reflections. Some days I post those on my blog. It's a little personal but it's my hope it will stir you to go deeper still. Learn how I do my devotions. These are my thoughts and not necessarily those of the ministry I serve. By the way check out the computer study Bible Glo. I highly recommend it.
