This morning I start the process of preparing for next Sundays message. No writing or study or anything like that--just a small prayer, asking God to lead me in the right direction. My prayer is that I would be sensitive to His "prompts", as I believe He will give me more than a few in the next couple of days.
These promptings will come as I live my life. I've got a number of phone calls to make today. It's quite possible God will answer my prayer in one of these conversations. I've got some paperwork to do and things to file. It's possible that one of the papers I'll be holding will contain God's message. Maybe it'll come when I run, or when I'm driving a Northwestern school van....but it will come.
For 10+ years God has faithfully answered my Tuesday prayer. Sure, sometimes He answers it on Saturday night (ugh), but He answers.
My job is to be on the lookout, to be waiting with a sense of vulnerability and hope. I hate to think of all the messages I've missed simply because I wasn't looking.
Thank God for His grace.
