That could be enough to pray through and meditate upon. What's God saying to you ? What will you do about it? Who will you process with? Are you an upfront or alongside equipper and disciple maker? God made you a certain way for His purposes for such a time as this and He gifted you to grow into those purposes. Worship, pray, prepare and go live and love like Jesus . It's a beautiful day (and week ahead) to get out and share His love and enjoy life! Check out the I to We devo below. Think about what God has for you and pray into it. And think about and pray through the Upper Room. Pay attention! God is always at work and at work all around you and in you. how will you respond ? Ask Him to reveal Himself as you go and to lead you to join Him and for courage to do so. Amen! He does have great plans for you and is a great day to be a doer of His Word and to go with some others to incarnate Jesus and His way to the world around you. Try i and share what happens! I'm anxious to hear how God has been using you and the plans He is clarifying for you and us. And then just worship as you trust and obey! Amen! And shalom shalom! Perfect peace to you!
I to We
UR: Paying Attention
Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses. - Proverbs 28:27 (NIV)
My husband and I pulled into a rest area to eat lunch on our way home from a trip. An older woman near the restrooms, holding a cardboard sign saying, “Please help. Need gas money.” She stared at the ground, shoulders slumped forward. People passed her on their way to the restrooms, but nobody even glanced at her. It was like she was invisible.
She was limping toward her car when I handed her some cash with a quick, “God bless you.” I started to turn away when she said, “Would you pray for me?” I stopped and looked into her eyes. “Please pray that I can find a job,” she said. I promised that I would and then impulsively added, “Would you like me to pray right now?” I had never done anything like that before, and I’m not sure what made me say it, but the woman nodded. I asked God to help her to find a job and the assistance she needed. It felt awkward, but afterward the woman smiled and thanked me. “I know God will take care of me,” she said. As I walked away, I marveled at her faith. Would I still trust God if I had to beg for money? I vowed to remember this encounter and pay attention to each person I meet.
's Prayer
Dear God, open our eyes to see those around us and to offer help as you lead us. Amen.
