Joshua Chp 3
It is important to remind yourself of God's greatness and that He is always with you. For the Israelites, the Ark of the Covenant served as that reminder:
9 Joshua said to the Israelites, "Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God. 10 This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites. 11 See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. 12 Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the LORD -the Lord of all the earth—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap."
Dave M of my small group in Newtonville, MA shared this set of letters from Brother Lawrence with me. Today's reading reminded me of the need to feel a daily presence of the Lord and how you can achieve it through a running conversation with God.
Another great idea from Mike G is to create gratitude lists from which you can reflect and praise God for how he blesses you.
My Prayer: Lord, I know you bless me and I know you love me but sometimes - like now - I feel flat. Please help me find and implement ways in my daily life to remind me of your greatness so that I can truly worship you. Forgive me for my mood now that I am "flat".
