A Devotional Idea...

I no longer have a watch.  I would like to wear a watch in order to know the time of day and to stay on schedule.  But, there was a time I did wear a watch on a daily basis and it provided me a nugget for a devotional.  I wrote it down a long time ago and just found it in a journal I had created for devotional ideas.  So, here it is as I had written it down at the time.

Spent the last few minutes searching for my watch before going to work.

Without my watch my daily schedule at work will be off.  I'll be lost all day.

I ended up being late for work.  I just didn't feel right without my watch.

Well, when I got to work and took my coat off, guess what I discovered?  My watch was on my wrist the whole time.

When did I put it on?  How come I never felt it on my wrist?  Why didn't I think to look on my wrist?  When would I have realized it, if I had not taken my cat off right away?

I was suddenly hit with the thought of how I go about trying to find answers to my problems.  Searching everywhere but where the answer was all along - right in my Bible.  It, the answer, was with me all along.  Right where I always leave it.

But I am not too late to search the scriptures for the answers to life's problems. 

They'll always be in the Bible.  I need to remember to search there first.

I will title this devotional idea "My Watch Was With Me the Whole Time."

Heb 4:16  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

First Treasure To Be Shared...

I want to share one of the most important treasures I have unearthed.  It is oxygen.  Yes, oxygen.  Air that we breathe.  I am asthmatic.  I have a set of lungs that do not work like a normal person's.  I have good days and I have bad.  But each day I am thankful for the air that I breathe and for the Lord providing those breathes.  So, when a person wakes up and says "thank you Lord for another day to live",  I say, "thank you Lord for another breath." 

See, how simple it is to find those nuggets of blessings and treasures?  That is how this blog will be developing.  Just a post here and a post there of different nuggets I uncover, unearth, dig up, find and discover.  The Lord has so many that I know this blog will never have an ending page for it.

May we begin a treasure hunt with the Lord as our guide.  Come on.  It will be fun.  It will be rewarding.  It will always be new and fresh.  And it will always glorify the Lord.

Sharing God's nuggets, Marshel.
