Daily Prayer - Sensing God

Good Thursday morning, my friends.

 

We all have physical senses - the ability to see, taste, hear, feel and smell.  How about spiritual senses?  I love this prayer and the way it describes the concept of spiritual senses.  I have recently come to know the truth of these statements through my walk with God.  I pray that you do too.  And if not, that God would grant you these wonderful gifts.

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

 

Father, when we examine the Scriptures we see how good you are. 

 

Just as we engage our physical senses in tasting food we engage our spiritual senses in learning who You are and how You guide us by Your Spirit.

 

Though we cannot see You, our spirit senses the work You're doing in our life. 

 

Though we cannot hear You, You lead us through Your commands in Scripture.

 

Though we cannot feel You, we are warmed by Your loving words expressed in the Bible.

 

Though we cannot touch You we feel the extension of Your love as You work on our behalf.

 

Your scent is present in the very air that we breathe and the beauty of Your creation that surrounds us everyday. 

 

Your words are sweet to our taste as we hunger for your goodness.

 

May we in turn offer up a sweet smelling sacrifice that is pleasing to You. 

 

In Jesus' name we pray.  Amen.
