Daily Devotional for Wednesday, October 23, 2013 Scripture: Psalm 107:4-9 Some of the redeemed had wandered into the desert, into the wasteland. They couldnt find their way to a city or town. They were hungry and thirsty; their lives were slipping away. So they cried out to the LORD in their distress, and God delivered them from their desperate circumstances. God led them straight to human habitation. Let them thank the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all people because God satisfied the one who was parched with thirst, and he filled up the hungry with good things! Reflection: Lost and wandering in a wasteland, believers often feel like they have been abandoned by the God who delivered them from sin and death in the first place. How often have you felt like that? In the midst of it, however, this psalm reminds us that we cry out to God in our distress, and the Lord is always present. Those who are in need know God’s presence by the witness of our presence as we meet them and minister to them where they are, within their current circumstances, however dire those circumstances may be, for those are the kind of situations into which God ventures to meet us. Prayer: Risen Lord, may we know and feel the reality of your presence among us, and may your real presence be known also by those whom we serve. Amen.
