IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2009

I am borrowing from Beth for today because I don’t think I can improve on it. In Week Two, Day One of The Patriarchs, we started with chapter 16 of Genesis. You may recall the story were Sarai decides God is wrong and she is going to fix what He has messed up. That is my paraphrase but nevertheless the truth.

1 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.

Can’t you just hear the distrust in her voice? Can’t you hear the accusation? ‘This is all God’s fault! He said He would give us a child and now He is keeping me from having one! He lied!’

We do this too. We may be more subtle than Sarai but we’ve done it. Have I ever worried? Have you? Then we’ve subtly accused God. And I am convinced that at any moment we ACCUSE God we have just messed up really, really badly and if we do not stop right then and there in that very moment and repent, we are setting ourselves and others up for some severe consequences. And a glaring example is Isaac and Ishmael – Hebrews and Arabs – still fighting.

But on to point two; you will recall that Hagar who was Sarai’s maid servant and whom she gave to Abram as ‘wife’ for the purpose of procreating. And when she did conceive a child, then Hagar and Sarai hated each other. Duh! Imagine that!! So Hagar ran away AND God pursued her! Oh, my goodness that makes me cry! Anyone of us who has at any time been pursued and found by God knows the absolute beauty of this!

7 Now the Angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. 8 And He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?”

He asked her this not because He did not know but because she did not know. She needed to exam herself. Could He be asking you these questions? Could He be asking me these questions?

And Beth said: “Hagar gave God a name. No other character in the Old Testament, male or female, ever does such a thing. Only Hagar, the Egyptian maidservant.” And the name is El Roi which means God Who Sees.

And now to finish up with what I really want you to read: “The divinely initiated encounter between God and Hagar began with these words: “The Angel of the LORD found Hagar near a spring in the desert.” How like God to become her Spring in the desert. El Roi. He sees when no one else cares to look. He sees through the smile we wear when we’re dying inside. He sees our hurt when we’re mistreated. He sees us when we cry into our pillow because we feel unloved. He sees beyond our sin into the depth of our need. He sees when we’re hiding. Running. He sees when we continue to sow the seed of His Word even in the floodplain of our grief.

. . . He is the God who sees you.”

Amen and amen! I so needed this today! El Roi. The God Who sees me! And loves me! And you too!!

Praise Reports and Prayer Requests

Remember Katelyn in particular today.

ABBA, I need to see You today as El Roi. I need to know You as El Roi, the God Who sees me. The God Who is pursuing me. Oh, Holy Spirit, stand me still to get caught! Amen and amen.

Our El Roi, we have many for You to see today. Katelyn and her surgeons and her family, see them and comfort and heal them we pray. And not only Katelyn but all these on our list, including our IDOK Troops, especially Matt, we pray for him to be healed.

And, now some hours later, thank You. Today all day You have been God Who sees me. And You have been faithful, You have been good, You have answered prayer. You have loved us. You have cared for us. You have protected us. You have been our God Who sees. And as I put this devotion to ‘press’ I ask You Holy Spirit to make this Word alive to each IDOK and each Reader that they will know in the depths of their ‘gut’ that You are the God Who sees and because You see, they (and me) can trust You with it all. Amen and amen in Jesus Name.

IDOK DEVOTION FOR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2009

Page 27 of my The Patriarchs work book is where I shall begin. And the statement is: “Abram was called to be separate—not so he could be detached but so he’d have the God-strength to help.” Is not that the best interpretation of The Lord’s command for us to be in the world but not of the world?

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 (New King James Version)

16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“ I will dwell in them

And walk among them.

I will be their God,

And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

“ Come out from among them

And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,

And I will receive you.”

18 “ I will be a Father to you,

And you shall be My sons and daughters,

Says the LORD Almighty.”

Not detached from as in an exclusive club of better than you, look down our righteous noses at you because you do this and we don’t; but separated from those acts, demonstrating by God’s Grace we have been rescued so we can be anointed and empowered by God to help rescue them, to demonstrate for them there is a way out and a way up for them. If Abram had pitched his tent toward Sodom with Lot when Lot was captured Abram would have been too and he would have been of NO HELP to Lot. It just makes sense, God-sense, if we are living just like the world, we have nothing to offer them. If we fail and refuse to separate ourselves from carnality, we will have no ‘power’ working in us to demonstrate a way UP for them. Not of the world so as to be detached but not of so we can help! I like that!!

Praise Reports and Prayer Requests

My Baby Girl is not doing as well as we thought she would, still experiencing swelling and much pain, please pray for healing. We are calling the surgeon (oral) again today.

ABBA, I appreciate this message, separated to help, and that’s what I want to be. You know me, you know the stuff going on inside and outside; You now what’s helpful and what’s harmful, You know what’s holy and what’s carnal; thank You for Your love and patience in getting rid of the carnal. I am sorry, really sorry it is taking so long. Thank You for loving me always. And You know my concern for my Baby Girl. I am asking You for relief from this jaw pain and for her to be healed. And not only Baby Girl but we have a whole list of hurting people here. And each one needs to hear from You today and needs to KNOW Your touch upon them and in them today and it is for that I pray. We pray too for our IDOK Troops, for their safety and protection and safe returns home. Guard Israel and turn some hearts to bless Israel and not curse. I remember what You said; that You will bless those who bless Israel and You will curse those who curse Israel. ABBA, please stop those in America who are ready to curse Israel. I am concerned about this and I pray for repentance for these people of power and influence. They don’t seem to know that You LORD are in charge. I pray they will learn quickly in Jesus name. Amen and amen.

As you know this is not Monday and not January 7, 2008; however, I’m offering you a ‘re-run’ that I thoroughly need. I didn’t do so well this time with the thieves.

IDOK DEVOTION FOR MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2008

This morning seemed just right for a pair of lounging Capri; you know the comfy ones with the drawstring waist. But the drawstring had retreated – the knot on the end had shrunk with wash and wear and my first thought was GREAT, just something else to steal precious time this morning. And I briefly considered wearing them anyway and let the drawstring just stay in retreat but I didn’t and this time fishing it out with a safety pin worked really well and quicker than I thought. We all have those things in our daily routine that pop up, jump out and retreat that we did not invite to our itinerary. I call those things ‘time thieves’. And I am the world’s worst in abhorrence of these little intruders. Sometimes I get ‘bent out of shape’ and I fuss and fume because of them; complaining and explaining why I do not have time for these little ‘criminals’. Which is really playing right into their ‘grubby’ little hands – the complaining and explaining, fussing and fuming does only one – no, two things: steals more time AND my peace.

So this morning I had two choices: wear the pants with the drawstring in retreat (and fuss and fume) or fuss and fume and take a few moments, fish it out and tie a larger knot. I am glad I chose the later, less the fussing and fuming (this time). Which reminds me of an ole adage: ‘a stitch in time, saves nine’ and that brings me to my point: sometimes the ‘time thieves’ are of our own making – at my last wearing of the garment I could have tied a larger knot in the drawstring before washing.

But alas what would I have then done for an IDOK this morning???

WE ARE HUMAN. WE ARE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO DO THE EXPEDIENT THING OR THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME AND THERE ARE always going to be TIME THIEVES. But you know what? OUR GOD IS BIGGER THAN the time thieves if we remember the Joy of the Lord is our Strength.

Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

And if we need a little more incentive there’s Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Be encouraged! We can beat the time thieves today – by either heading them off with an ‘early stitch’ and when that fails, PRAISE OUR LORD ANYWAY!! That NEVER fails!

Praise Reports and Prayer Requests

Well, the news on Glenn R is this: NO SIGN OF THE TUMOR and all LOOKS GREAT !!!!!!!!!!

Father, thank You for lessons and for progress in learning them; this is midweek and some of us have already messed up royally and we’d like to finish up the week knowing we lived the last half well. We won’t do that without Your help. And so we are thanking You for Your Patience and the Good Work You are doing in each of us. I ask You to bless and keep safe and guide and give wisdom to each of our IDOKs today. I am asking You to take a reading on each of our hearts and weed out that stuff that does not honor You and move us to rid our hearts of it – help us cooperate with You today. And Father, we have souls on our minds this morning, souls who need rescuing but as yet are not willing to allow YOU to be the one to rescue them. Help them to stop looking to others for what ONLY YOU can do and help us get out of Your way. Thank You Father. And we bring these, we call these names to You and we ask You to deliver to them Your Will for them this day. And for these our IDOK Troops we pray for their protection today in mind and body and spirit. Lord we pray for peace and safety for them; we pray You will see to it that they all get home safe and sound and Holy Spirit we ask You to encourage them and draw them to loving The Lord Jesus with all their hearts. We pray for the Peace of Israel, the Repentance of the American people, and we pray that You will revive Your Church and that You will start with us – Your IDOKs. Amen and amen.

IDOK DEVOTION FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009

As I begin this I do not know if this will develop into a full devotion or if it is just a thought to share with you; anyway, as I read Monday’s devotion again, particularly this Scripture something came to mind. (And please know that by this something that came to mind that I am not in any manner, shape or form taking from or diminishing at all the sacred ordinance of the Lord’s Supper.)

I Corinthians 11: 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

For as often as I pick up my copy of ABBA’s Word (His Bread) and eat it, that is read and study and meditate and do what it says, I am proclaiming my LORD’s death till He comes for me. Even in the quietness and the ‘aloneness’ of my office here I am proclaiming to an ‘unseen world’ that I have believed and have received the LORD’s Bread and the LORD’s Cup as my own. Oh my goodness I like that! When I open the Word to read, to learn, to obey, I just know the Angels of God rejoice. I just know they smile and are delighted. I just know my ministering angels are particularly pleased. I like that! I also like that the fallen angels are witnesses too and I figure it disturbs them greatly. And you KNOW I like that! There’s much going on in that to us ‘unseen world’; even so, you and I can affect it a lot I think when we eat The Bread and Drink the Cup before their watching eyes.

But you know their watching eyes should not be our major concern; what should be a major concern is the watching eyes of lost people. Do you think eating the LORD’S BREAD and drinking the LORD’S Cup in the quietness of our rooms will affect them if it affects us? Ponder it and let me know what you think.

One more word that came to me while putting some clothes in the washing machine: God is all about helping you and me to live better; He is NOT about brow beating us with emotions and thoughts about how much we screw up. That’s coming from another source.

Praise Reports and Prayer Requests

ABBA, You are awesome. Holy Spirit, thank You; The Word is in deed ALIVE and You speak it. Thank You. Before watching eyes, motivate me to proclaim more and more Your life, death, resurrection and coming again, Lord Jesus. More and more in the quiet of my room, meet with me and speak and change me to Your image; and not just me but every IDOK and every Reader who is willing to be molded. As we are here much of Monday is still before us, rain and all, keep safe our IDOKs in weather and storms of any kind they have upon them today. Thank You that Sparky is doing so well. You have amazed people through him and that delights us. We ask You to keep on doing it. And Joyce and John, heal that marriage we pray. And Sean, You know the mess there and only You can direct him to the Cross and only You can give him space and grace to repent, do it, Lord, do it. And Louise and Elaine, two ladies loved by so many; many who want them to live on here and bless others and we pray that it be so. And there are some specific unspokens, some troubled parents and grandparents, direct them when to pray and keep silent and when to pray and praise and encourage. And there are some senior, senior saints written here too, we pray for their comfort and that for as long as You leave them here they will ‘run’ their races well. We pray all of us will run our races well. We pray our IDOK Troops will walk out this season of their service in holiness and that You will go before them and be their rear guard and that each of them will come home to family and friends safe and sound. I just read again what this Administration has said about Israel, please have mercy, forgive and correct this Administration, correct this Nation I pray. Be gracious to us LORD and bless us with correction and the wonderful gift of repentance. And if IDOK can help, get us to doing it in Jesus Name and for His sake. Empower, provide for and protect Your Missionaries all around this world; keep them healthy and mighty in spirit, soul and body we pray in Jesus Name. Amen and amen.
