It’s a beautiful day on Thursday as I write this devotion. The sun is bright and lifting my spirit like only God can do. This phenomenon always surprises me because you would think after all these years of being a full-time follower of Jesus Christ that I would not need God to do this; and yet here I am being lifted like a hot air balloon. It feels amazing to have this power outside of myself to lift me up. God lifts my hopes, my need for forgiveness, my love of life, and my love of His Spirit. God is always on the rescue.

Exodus 14:14 the Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

Pastor Mark is preaching this week on the God who always rescues. I don’t know about you, but I am loving watching pastor Mark emerge as a superb preacher. It’s just a privilege to witness the exciting story of Washington Cathedral. And I expect God to do a mighty work in my heart this Sunday at 10:30 am. So, I’m getting ready for a lift and a rejuvenation in my heart as our Lord works through Pastor Mark’s sermon. Don’t miss it.

Your friend for the rest of my life,

Pastor Tim White
