IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2008
Revelation 22: 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
It’s mid-week and again I have 5 days of homework for my A Heart Like His study to do today!! It is a GREAT study and I am grateful to be doing it; however, with this confession you know I am still a work in progress to practice what I ‘preach’ regarding priorities!
‘My’ priority yesterday was Christmas Shopping; it took most of the day but I am nearly finished! Our strategy here is THIS year to be more relax and actually enjoy the Season with REAL worship and loving fellowship with people. Wouldn’t that be a novel idea? I am sure as the season progresses, I will ‘tell on’ us so you will know how we are doing in this endeavor.
Joyce Myers is talking about priorities this week too; I’ve caught her program a couple times which is a rare thing for me. And today is Wednesday’s with Beth (James Robinson); that’s a priority. See what I mean? We all do it. Meeting with you all is a priority with me and as you all know well, sometimes I am way late getting here. Sometimes I interrupt our time together to go and stand in the driveway to watch my beloved to the end of the street and pray for traveling mercies for him to work and home again. No complaints about that priority!! Joyce said on Monday she was complaining in prayer to God about her schedule. She said it was yang yang this and blah blah that and He said to her, ‘Joyce, you make your schedule; if you don’t like it change it!’
Something else was said that I thought was profound but I didn’t make it a priority to write it down and now for the moment I can’t remember it to share with you. See what I mean? We all do it.
But I do remember a word that ABBA gave me through Beth a few weeks back. HE IS WORKING IN ME TO CONFORM ME TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON AND HE WILL NOT CEASE UNTIL HE GETS IT DONE. I can rest in that promise and instead of spending my energy fretting over my ‘rotten’ self when I fail and when I am so slow to learn, and when I mess up and when I don’t prioritize appropriately, turn my thoughts to praise that He is faithful and He and I will get there … Priorities and all!! Have a great day my Dear Ones. We are going to get there!!
Philippians 1: 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
Thank You ABBA I think You will even use ramblings. I expect that You will. You truly are so AWESOME. Sometimes I think that those close to me don’t see me living like I believe it but WE are going to get there. Thank You. ABBA, a couple dear to me let me know they are traveling today and I pray for their protection, for safe arrivals to and from and not only safe arrivals but blessed fellowship with friends and strength to build not only a cabin but fellowship with You and each other. Other IDOKS maybe traveling too so I pray for safe passage for all of them today and for relationships to deepen and widen in You Christ Jesus and then to others. Another couple has just been given information that has disturbed them so greatly that they are seeking if You have another place of worship for them – Thy Will be done ABBA. And I pray they will hear You and KNOW what Your Will in this is and if there are other IDOKs experiencing this too, I pray for them to KNOW too and follow Your leading. And then there are these listed here, especially including our IDOK Troops and their safety and protection in mind, body and spirit; America, as a whole, and this path She has chosen – You are working and we only ask that You line us Christians up with You for the good and the repentance of leaders and fellow citizens; and Israel – for Her protection and peace. Again, I pray ABBA that America will not turn away from Israel. I pray too that You will enlist and empower individuals in numbers to speak boldly to stay and turn back the evil that has been unleashed in America. We trust You to comfort the grieving and relieve the suffering today for Jesus sake. Amen and amen. Traveling mercies for IDOKs on the road and wisdom for IDOKs making decisions about church affiliation. Economic conditions, especially the effects it has upon the minds and hearts of people.
