thank you gail for the devotional today. i find for myself that I need continual daily Bible study. let me re-tract that, I ‘want’ continual study in His Word. i used to find praying somewhat like having marbles in one’s mouth. i knew in my heart what i wanted to say, request, thank. but on bended knee i would get tongue-tied sometimes. that would stave me off praying for a few days although I knew that was wrong as my conscience felt it. as I learn more and more of scripture, i am feeling a slight more of a connection and am finding prayer almost a natural state. notice i said ‘almost’. fellowship and sharing such as in this forum is a privilege I feel. I try not to take anything for granted, the ability to converse in this technical manner with others who are searching, who have found, who are struggling with their faith. oh, I have found the nudging of the Holy Spirit in the past but because the conscience was already feeling the wrong direction, I knew that the Holy Spirit was right behind to remind me.
i can’t say as yet that my heart has become insensitive. but I am growing spiritually and I’d be a fool to think that this journey will be all that and then some. I need to be reminded of where I was 2 years ago but not dwell on it as it is the past. this is today. I had in fact just read this morning Mathew 6 v. 34 which says, ”Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” i found much comfort in this Scripture as my son was going back to school and I silently asked myself why I had to give him back to the world so soon. then I felt it within that my son no longer belongs to me, he belongs to the Lord God.

This devotion came at the perfect time. Great reminder to continously check myself….attitude….spirit….to see if it is of God.

Thanks Gail for the helpful check-list. How easy it is for us to develop a hard heart when we respond in a worldly way to situations. What damage it causes to our relationship with God and with others! Praying that God will continue to work in me and develop that soft heart you talk about Gail. Praying that my response to those I come in contact with today will be encouragement when I am tempted to respond with attitudes that don’t honour God. Love to you all from here. Donna
