The question has been asked, "How do you decide what Scripture to meditate on for
any given morning?"
As some of you have noticed, I tend to skip around a lot in what I share on my Blog. When I seriously began asking for my DAILY
bread, I wanted to be more open to God's
guidance. It seemed pretty silly to ask
for guidance as I read and
then when a verse was put in my mind
say, "sorry, I'm reading Matthew right now!" So,
I'm trying to be more open.
It's an interesting
experience.
It's
not uncommon
these days for me to
wake up with a verse running
through my mind. If
that happens, I will
look it up and read before and
after. Sometimes as
I'm reading, a cross
reference will stand
out to me and I'll
go there.
Sometimes another
verse will pop
into my head.
If there is no verse in my mind as I awake, I may
go back to where I
read the day before
and read until
something stands out
to me. Sometimes a
personal issue
will be on my
mind and I'll
use
a concordance
to see if I
can find some
insight regarding
that topic.
I'm
just trying to
be really open
as
I ask each
morning for my
daily
bread.
About This Blog
The butterfly picture in the upper left corner is a symbol and reminder for me of the spiritual process. Sometimes I am the caterpillar - barely able to see far enough in front of me to put one foot in front of the other. Sometimes I find myself in that dark place of the soul, and I remind myself that it is simply my cocoon. While all may seem dark, and I may feel like everything is totally disintegrating around me (and in me!) a miracle is at work in my life and I will soon be able to fly! I love those days where I experience the butterfly in my life! The ability to fly above all the mundane earthy matters and remember the truth and experience God's power in tangible ways in my life are wonderful times indeed that occur more and more often as I continue this journey! Thank you, God!
If you are so inclined, I invite you to journey with me as we seek the promised land together. While I hope to share some "faithbooking" (scrapbook pages or artistic journaling about my faith journey), much of the time the journey may well be seen in words, rather than pictures. I invite you to create your own pictures. How do these things play out in your life? I'd love to hear from you about your own spiritual journey!
