Dancing with Divines
December 16, 2021 (Thursday)
Nineteenth Day of Advent
Divine
Today’s Divine is the Scottish pastor Samuel Rutherford. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly, and his writings have been called “a bundle of myrrh whose ointment and perfume would revive and gladden the hearts of many generations”.
Entry
Prayer
O Gracious Word and Power Who shows the steadfast love of God, I place my trust in You this day and take Your light and life with joy. I acknowledge the feelings that are roadblocks to my faith, and I acknowledge the experiences that have made doubt my companion. I thank You for these things which pave the path before me, and may they turn from fainted stones to flashing gems that call for praise. In Your name I pray. Amen.
