Day 14 - 2 Weeks

I am in a Ladies Bible Fellowship Study alongside participating in The Soul Revolution. In this study we are challenged by the author to "go down (to the floor) before we go up (entering His presence)"; get on our knees with our face to the floor in prayer before we open our bibles and humbly seek the Lord.

What I have noticed is that once I have my face to the floor I don't want to leave there. I am humbled before God. My thoughts are on Him, His holiness, His power, His love, His forgiveness ... Doing this alongside Soul Revolution has been an amazing same-message-in-2 venues-kind-of-experience as I long to stay in His presence. On page 65 of our Soul Rev. book the author says; "Watch what happens as you willingly put Him first.".

Yesterday I spoke with the first pastor I have ever had. He called me "out of the blue" (and we all know what that means) -we played phone tag for a few weeks...but yesterday I spoke to him. I see his call, our connection, as a perfect gift from God. In my devotions I was to journal about my place of salvation. So I wrote about the time, place, circumstances I accepted Christ as a 30 year old mom of 2 in need. I praised the Lord for rescuing me and revealing to this unchurched woman that Christ wants me, died for me, loves me. I asked Him to be my Savior. As I continued to write my thoughts I thanked the Lord for the first Body of Christ He guided me to and for the growth that began there. Seven days later my Pastor calls - haven't heard from him since 1993! He said he felt led to connect with some people who were meaningful in his life and in the life of that church. He prayed over me at the end of the phone call in a way that touched my soul ~ and I hung up in the presence of the Giver of all good things - our Lord. God has such personal blessings for us. Let's continue to seek Him first and watch what happens....

Loving Christ Alongside,
Lynn
