Day 12 of the Bible in 90 Days
Today’s Reading: Numbers 21:8 – 32:19
Today I did my reading outside, tucked in a corner in the shade, while my kids played soccer at soccer camp.
I hope your reading is going well. Things often get tough about now, but I know that if you really try your best to find every pocket of time available to you to read, you can catch up or stay caught up. You are already past where most people give up in other Bible reading plans. Hang in there and claim your time for the Lord and you will be amazed at what is to come. I promise.
On with some SOAP:
Scripture: Numbers 22: 38
“Well, I have come to you now,” Balaam replied. “But can I say just anything? I must speak only what God puts in my mouth.”
Observation:
I can only say what God directs. These words are from God and are truth. I cannot influence them.
Application:
I would love for my words to be more inspired by God and less inspired by me.
Prayer:
Lord, please guide me in being a better listener to you and in being a better communicator of your word. I know that the man referred to here was one you ordained to speak exactly your word and I am not. But Lord, please guide me in selecting my thoughts and words more carefully so that they are honoring to you and reflect your presence within me. I want to share your love and not my frustration or anything else negative. I want to honor you and represent you well to my children and others.
Thank you for inviting me to spend this time in your Word so that I can continue to grow and replace my sinful words and thoughts with those guided by you.
