On eagle's wings

"You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagle’s wings and brought you to myself." – Exo 19:4

Lord, though I have not seen what You did to Egypt, I believe. I have heard what You have done and now I believe. I believe that You are God of the everlasting, the Father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and now Lord, you are my Father. Dear Lord, thank you for this wonderful gift of faith that has allowed me to trust that You will continue to carry me on your eagle’s wings and bring me close to You, always.

"This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your own heart." – Matt 18:35

The heart, is so important because it leads to our thought, speech and action, and that will be what we will be judged upon. Dearly beloved, let us then come with a cleansed and purified heart before the Lord so that he may be well-pleased with us when we enter his kingdom.

PRAYER:
"Heavenly Father, thank you for this wonderful gift of faith that you’ve given me, the faith that made me believe that Jesus died on the cross and arose again to be seated with You on your right hand, and the belief that You will again to this earth. Father, help me to build a faithful heart for the days to come, that in everything which I do, I will do so in Your name and strength, showing the kind of faithfulness that you have revealed to thousands of generations since the time of Noah.
Heavenely Father, would you also search my heart for any kind of impurity that detests you and transform me into the image of Christ Jesus. Forgive me Father, for sins that I have committed in folly and wilfullness, lead me back to the path of righteousness, always. In Jesus’ most precious name, Amen."
