Carolyn Miller, the coordinator of the United Prayer Tower for Camps Farthest Out, sent a great 21 day meditation and prayer vigil for the Annual Meeting of CFO and the CFOI Board Meeting with a scripture each day to direct us to what the Word says about God's Presence.
I have excerpted the scriptures she recommends each day for meditation because life really is all about God's Presence. As Moses said in Ex. 33:15, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here." Moses certainly understood how important the Presence is, didn't he?
