Moses and Aaron were among His priests, Samuel also was among those who called upon His name. They called to the LORD, and He answered them. In the pillar of the cloud He spoke to them; they kept His testimonies and the statute that He gave them. O LORD our God, You answered them; You were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings. Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His holy mountain; for the LORD our God is holy!
Lord, so many men and women who have gone before, that great cloud of unseen witnesses who rose up to provide examples of those who loved You and sought to honor and obey You with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. For many, it is the records of their lives and those writings they left behind to give us strength and direction; of those still with us it is the constant day to day evidence of lives lived for You. Thank you, Lord, for Your saints to encourage and set the example.
Lord, continue to raise up faithful leaders; men and women who understand that submission is the mark of leadership and who seek to exemplify the walk of a disciple of the Kingdom. Thank You for those whom You have gathered around me; those devout individuals who encourage me and admonish me daily.
