Daily Devotion - Wednesday, June 29

New Opportunities

“May God be gracious to us and bless us,
may the face of the Lord shine upon us
and all the ends of the earth will honor our God.”

--From a Psalm of God’s people,
Chapter 67, selected verses

God’s grace comes to us in a variety of ways. As new opportunities come our way, we gain new understanding about the awesome nature of God’s holy presence among us. Recently I was privileged to enjoy the opening festivities at our newest campus, the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA. There are many folks around our nation who are intrigued with this new adventure into the world of healthcare and physical fitness. I do believe we are on the growing edge of something wonderful.

As the YMCA develops, new jobs will be created and we will have expanded opportunities to “treat people better”. It will be important that we help welcome and integrate these folks into this health care community. As these new folks with their hopes, dreams and goals blend with the “seasoned” staff, we will all discover God gracing us and blessing us in refreshing ways.

A prayer: Gracious God, continue to bless the work of our hands as we join together in providing health care services. Amen.
