COME: The LORD God has come! 1 Samuel 4:7

And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” And they said, “Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before. 1 Samuel 4:7

Prayer & Praise:
As I reflect on this holy scripture, Almighty God, my heart is filled with deep gratitude for sending Your beloved Son into my camp [life]. I praise You, Lord Jesus, for coming to save me, not to destroy me. Your presence, Abba Father, no longer strikes dread of woe into my soul as it does into the minds and hearts of Your adversaries and the cynics of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today who sees God as their enemy and says, "Woe is me. Nothing good from God ever comes my way." Stir their soul to cry out, "Come, Immanuel, into my camp and save me!" Permit them to experience an epiphany of salvation as they pray in Jesus' mighty name.
