"But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth."
- II Corinthians 10:17-18
"I'm gonna walk so God can use me, anywhere, anyhow, anytime. I'm gonna walk so God can use me anywhere, anyhow, anytime.
I'm gonna pray so God can use me, anywhere, anyhow, anytime. I'm gonna pray so God can use me anywhere, anyhow, anytime.
I'm gonna live so God can use me, anywhere, anyhow, anytime. I'm gonna live so God can use me, anywhere, anyhow, anytime."
Dear Friends,
I remember being taught this hymn/spiritual many years ago by one of our former choir directors. We sang the song as one of our choir processionals. Bellowing out the words gonna walk, gonna pray, gonna live so God can use me ---oh- I just felt the Holy Spirit encouraging my soul every time we sang the song. Even now as I ponder, reflect and rehearse the song in my mind I am humming and feel the weight of today's challenges falling off.
When we have our mind made up to remain available to God at all times, to stand firm on our post as Christian soldiers; the Holy Spirit equips us with the strength to meet whatever task the Lord has for us to do.
I am not always readily available. I get distracted sometimes and stray from the course. Yet, I pray to the Lord: "help me Jesus, renew my strength, forgive me."
The Lord stirs up a verse, a song, a testimony. This is the stirring today. ANYWHERE, ANYHOW, ANYTIME!
Determined to walk, talk, pray and live a life yielded and available to God. One step, one day at a time.
"Give us this day our daily bread."
- (St. Matthew 6:11)
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
