So I woke up pretty early this morning, which was completely uncharacteristic of me. After waking up a little bit, I felt the urge to check my emails and read ONLY my daily devotionals. I get three per day and don’t always ‘have time’ to read them. The stupid thing is, I do pretty much nothing all day most days. I could easily make time. I have so much more time than a lot of my friends and they still make time for the Bible.
Anyway, only two of them had come, so I read those. The first was about how the power of the Holy Spirit is inside of us waiting for us to ‘activate’ it. It was saying about how if Jesus turned up, you wouldn’t be ‘too busy’ to talk to Him. You would make time for Him no matter what. The second was about different types of faith, a ‘how come people get healed who have never had much faith, yet I have to work so hard?’ sort of thing.
Just as I was about to log out, the third email appeared. It was based around Psalm 136. This next part really jumped out at me. I was literally talking to some of my friends last night about how I’ve been feeling and this just sums it up:
'There may be times in our lives when we cry, “Where are you God? Don’t you care what is happening to me? I can’t hear You. I can’t see Your hand working in my life.” But be assured of this. Even when we can’t sense God’s presence, He is always there. Always. And through it all, one thing remains the same – “His love endures forever!” '
Then there was a prayer: ‘LORD, today I am rejoicing over the truth that Your love endures forever. Even though everything around me may be falling apart and changing, You will always remain the same yesterday, today and tomorrow! In Jesus’ Name, Amen’
It then set a challenge. ‘Just for fun, list all the things that changed in your life in 2010. This might take a while. Now after each of those entries, go back and write the phrase: His love endures forever.’ I am going to do this later, and I challenge everyone reading to do this. In fact, I DARE YOU!
Right now, I am off to get ready and go to my sister’s to see her and my beautiful nieces. I’m feeling another blog entry later, and I’ll share my list with you then.
