Lord, You have always made the first move. In the Garden of Eden, when Adam couldn’t obey Your one rule, You made the first move, putting into motion Your plan to redeem fallen man (Genesis 3:15). Mankind wallowed in the throes of sin, but You didn’t hesitate, making the first move, sending Jesus, who willingly went to the cross to redeem us from sin (John 3:16). You made the first move, raising Jesus from the dead on Easter Sunday to give eternal life to all who believe (Romans 4:25). As with every Christ-follower, You made the first move by giving us everything we need to gain grace and eternal life, even the faith to believe and be saved (Ephesians 2:8). When we were lost, without hope of saving ourselves, thank You for moving first, Lord.
However You choose to do so, Lord God, bring an end to these wildfires devastating the western states. Whether by rain, or by supernaturally strengthening the people on the front lines, we pray Your mercy on the poor folks whose lives are forever altered by these fires. Help them as they rebuild. Give them the faith to call on You and may You become more than they expected. Use these fires to bring people into a new relationship with You.
Thank You for moving first to bring us to salvation, Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
