I just have to share my devotions on this journey... I wasn't going to, but how they line up with the feelings and senses I have had are completely amazing! Seriously, I'm awed. I normally read devotions in the morning...but save certain devotions for the end of my day. My end of day devotions have been from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young...given to me by a friend of mine. I promise, you will be smiling...
This is the stressful day of preparing to leave... Here's what my devotions read...
January 7
"IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRAISE OR THANK ME TOO MUCH. As it is written, I inhabit the praises of My people. Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of Joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings. At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured-an act of your will. I dwell equally in both types of praise. Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near Me. A thankful heart has plenty of room for Me.
When you thank Me for the many pleasures I provide, you affirm that I am God, from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank Me anyway, your trust in My sovereignty is a show-piece in invisible realms. Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving. This joyous discipline will help you live in intimacy of My Presence."
Psalm 22:3 (KJV). Psalm 146:1-2. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
So that is exactly what I did before I went to bed...praised Him for this opportunity. Praised Him for safe travels. Praised Him for family to worry about. Praised Him for protection from the deer I hit on the road. I wasn't going to share all of this, but I felt it was important. You have joined me on this journey... Taste every piece of it. :)
Isn't He amazing???!!! :)
