Day Thirteen

OK, so I'm delinquent again. The good news is, I've had a daily time of Bible reading and prayer for seventeen days in a row! Part of me is embarrassed and sad to admit that it's been quite a while since I've had a daily quiet time for 17 straight days.....by the power of the Holy Spirit, I think I'm well on the way to developing thing into a habit. I'm so grateful to the Lord for His sustaining provisions. I'm not tired, I'm not weary....on the contrary, I feel refreshed each day, and much more in tune with God's gentle leadings. I sense that I am walking by faith more, and allowing myself to be led by the Holy Spirit throughout the day. What could be better than that!

Day 13
A great way to add some worship to your devotion time is to pray through a list of the names of God. There are lots of lists, and I've pasted one here for you to use. What I like to do is use one a day (you don't have to do this everyday...maybe just a couple of times a week to keep things fresh). I like to pick one, then look up the Bible reference, and then pray that scripture back to God. For example:

In John 14:6, Jesus self-titles Himself "The Way" (as well as the Truth and the Life, but we'll use "The Way" for an example for today). Now praise God for being "The Way"....

"Lord Jesus, thank You so much for being The Way. I worship You as the One who made a way for us to the Father. You didn't have to do that, but You willingly and voluntarily chose to offer Yourself on a cross on my behalf. You made a Way for me. I exalt You Jesus as the one and Only Way to forgiveness and a relationship with the Father. Thank You for making a Way for me....and help me to point others to The Way."

So, for today, pick a name, read the scripture, and pray that back to God. Worship Him!
