Scriptures:
For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. (Psalm 18:28 KJV)
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. (Psalm 139:17-18 KJV)
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV)
**************************************************
I turned on the television, and switched channels until I landed on the 700 Club. I hadn’t really begun to watch the program when I thought about sending a text message to a family member - just to say hello, let them know I appreciated them and what they do for me, and to let them know I love them.
I picked up the phone to type and send the text, when I heard one of the 700 Club hosts say, “…just stop what you’re doing, and let’s pray.” As the host began to pray about situations in people’s lives to bring them to salvation and prayer, I thought of the text I was going to send, and suddenly it hit me – this was an invitation for communication from God!
In obedience, humbled by the thought that my Lord would call me to Him in this way, I put down the phone, and prayed.
“Lord, thank You! You allowed this time, this situation so that I would have the opportunity now, at this very moment, to send you a short message in prayer, just to acknowledge you in saying hello, to let You know how much I appreciate You and all You do for me, and to let You know that I love You.”
So I took the time, just talking with Him, telling Him what was in my heart, overflowing with gratitude, reveling in His Presence …
... and my journey with Him continues ...
