Reading: Proverbs 1-2, Psalm 128, Hebrews 13, and Luke 8
Scripture: Luke 8:39 "Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
Thoughts: When we start feeling the calling into some sort of ministry, we all to often think I will have to go to some undeveloped country, learn a new language, and wear uncomfortable cloths to do God’s work. On the other hand we may want to go with the one who help open our eyes to God’s calling. Here in Luke this man wanted to go with Jesus and learn and be a disciple and with his transformation he could have been a great one. Jesus told him to go home. Not to go sulk or complain that he didn’t get to go but to become a blow horn in a place where he was. When we become believers or heard the calling are we becoming blow horn, it is not about going or staying. Some are called to go some are told to stay and within those stay and go there is a multitude of options to serve
Prayer: Father I thank you that you called. I thank you for all the provisions and blessings that you pour out on us each day. I ask that you help me to listen to the timing of the coming and goings you have planed for me and the way we are to serve in the training and preparing. Open our eyes to the next step and keep walking it out.

July 8th, 2019 What are you doing?!?!?
Reading: 1 Kings 3, 2 Chronicles 1, Psalm 72, Hebrews 5, and Luke 5
Scripture: Luke 4:43, but he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose."
Thoughts: Something that God has been working on my with and reminding me, both through his word and the word he has given to be taught, we are not to just be in the church. It is good to teach and preach in church to build up, equip and raise up those young in faith. I must not just be teaching those who have to be in my class but I must be sharing my faith and living out my faith in my daily life speaking into the lives of those I see each and every day.
Prayer: Father I long to hear your voice and seek to hear what you have for those around me. I thank you for your provisions and blessings you pour out each day. Open my eyes and ears to know what you have for my mouth to say. Help me to touch the lives of those around me, lead me and give me your Love and Joy for this world and help me to over come my own insecurities.
