Welcome to Day 24. Can you guys do something for me, I would love to hear from each of you what you have been learning. I would love to post your comments in one of our devotionals. So message myself at equinones@okadventist.org , or our amazing sectary at office@adventistfellowship.org with a 1-3 sentence summary of something God revealed to you. I can’t wait to read them and for others to read them in one of our devotionals. Anyways you know the drill… Find your place and welcome Him with me as we spend the next 10-15 minutes in prayer and study.
- Choose an ordinary place to become a sacred-ordinary holy ground. This could be your favorite chair, the back porch steps, or a coffee shop.
- Set aside anything that could distract you for the next 10-15 minutes. If you are using your phone or laptop for these devotionals put it on do not disturb. If you are using a printout, set aside your phone or smartwatch. This time is intentionally meant to be with The King.
- I suggest picking up a journal so that you can jot down some ideas that stick out to you from your time with Jesus. As you continue to meditate on it throughout your day, write it down.
- Pick a consistent time. For you, it may be the final moments in your day, early in the morning before anyone wakes up, or your daily office lunch break. When doesn’t matter as much as being consistent.
I pray that during this time of meditation, reflection, and prayer God will reveal himself to us so we can draw near to him. Shall we begin?
August 27 John 6:36-46
Let’s Begin with Prayer. Pick a posture whether kneeling, sitting or sitting up straight with your the palms of your hands faced upward.
- In this season of prayer, write or say out loud one at a time all the things you feel responsible for. For example, your job, children, husband/wife, chores, homework, church, etc. After, repeat this prayer with me, “These do not define me, You do.”
- Read John 6:16-25 Write some of your thoughts down. Here are some questions to consider to help navigate your time studying scripture.
- Where did I feel resistance? Where did I feel delight? What portion of scripture did I experience God’s nearness?
