REFLECTION: Ever get an invitation you weren't expecting? Maybe it caused you to wonder why you were invited. Maybe it was to an event hosted by someone from your not-so-close friends' group, from the fringe. If you're like me, you probably tossed it on the pile of "I'll get to it later" stuff that seems to accumulate on every flat surface in my house. It doesn't get high priority on your list. But, you don't recycle it, either. It just sits there, waiting. Time goes by, you're consolidating your piles of unprioritized stuff, and you run across that invitation again. You give it a closer look and decide that since nothing else is going on that day, why not accept.
VERSE: "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the water! And you who have no money, come, receive grain and eat; Come, without paying and without cost, drink wine and milk!" Isaiah 55:1 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help me in those times when I'm afraid to say, "Yes" to Your invitation. Help me to believe You can satisfy the emptiness that's real in my life. Give me the courage to boldly believe in Your plans for my life. Amen. |
