Ever read a daily devotional and nothing jumps out at you?
Yeah. Or when you read the bible – this “come up dry” and “thirsting for a
special message – just right for me” feeling. Just right for my own special
need or situation. Hmmm… sitting there. Wondering. Praying for meaning. A
thought about a friend comes to mind. I push it aside. This is my quiet time
with God. My time to be fed and directed by Him. So I know how He wants me to
follow Him today. Friend comes to mind again. And yet again. I look down at
what I was reading. A phrase. A verse. The friend again.
Could it be that the message I am seeking… is not for me at
all? But for a dear friend. God is directing me – to be a conduit; a messenger.
He’s wanting me to pass something on.
Coming up empty after reading a devotional or scripture? Ask
God if He has someone else in mind. And pass it on!
- God brought you to mind today – so I said a little prayer.
- I read this and it made me think of you (include phrase or verse)
- (write down phrase or verse) and just add: thinking of you today
Julie,
ReplyDeleteI have added to my study/prayer time. I now write a card to the person God brings to mind. Glad I have your cards to send!
Praying for all at MPP 23
God Loves you and so do I.
