JULY'S THEME
The theme for this month
is “VISION: Observing Within and Without”.
Deciding to take an honest look at what goes on within our heart and
life is a brave thing to do. Observing what is going on within us and around us
opens up learning avenues and opportunities. Then we can choose to initiate change rather than be
surprised when change happens without our consent.
In order to make changes that enable us to walk in a manner worth of the Lord (Colossians 1) we will have to make decisions. We cannot evaluate/decide anything unless we have a
constant standard of measure.
The standard in this blog
is the Bible. It is God’s word to us. It is living and active, speaking to the
deepest needs of our hearts. Each of us needs to listen with our heart wide
open.
Clearly God can use
whatever He chooses to speak to us: a verse or passage, a song, a sermon, a
child, a friend, or nature, just to name a few. Maybe He will whisper something
to you from a bumper sticker or a billboard. The last memorable billboard I saw
posed the question, “Are you running on empty?” My silent response was, “My
stomach is full but my spirit feels depleted. Lord, thank You for calling me to
You. Lord, help me turn only and always to You.”
To recognize His gentle
call to me in such an ordinary thing leads me to realize that He is everywhere
around each of us, wooing us to fall in love with Him over and over again.
