Will They Ever Understand

I have just been on the phone with a friend. We talked about the need for a hiding place for full-time Christian workers, in particular the pastors, to use for prolonged quiet times with the Lord. Though her husband is such a worker, she does not agree that the provision of such a place will be a ministry to them if they were not counselled or prayed for face to face. Lord of the harvest and the church, isn't helping Your people meet with You of value to them? Must human intervention always be present before a person is transformed for You? But Father, if this burden to create a little centre for them to hide in You is Yours, then please grant me a steadfast heart and determined mind to persevere against all odds...so that Your tired labourers will know first-hand that You really care for them, I pray. May they hear You whisper once more that they are precious to You. Provide the resources, O King of Kings, as You did in the days of Aaron and the Levitical priest, I Plead.

For Meditation and Prayer:
Luke 5:15-16; Ezekiel 44:28-30
