Okay..........! No more information today! Only Meditation and application.
Meditation is to reread yesterday and see if there is more to it than you first thought. Sometimes reading blogs can become routine and this we miss things. Meditation: continued or extended thought; reflection; contemplation.
Application - Now that you have your list I want you to take a piece of paper and draw lkines down it to make four columns. Title the first FOOD. Title the second Drink. Title the third Clothes. And title the fourth Greater Than. You guessed it! Take your list from yesterday or whatever day it is that you read it and did it and put each item in it's proper column. Now I know there is at least one of you who will say that not every item fits. Correct but wrong. Look deeper as to why each item is on your list? Example: you saw a woman crying. Why did you notice? Was she wearing something that caught your attention? If so it goes under clothes. Did you notice her because she was someone you knew and you went to her and spoke to her to offer comfort? That would be Greater Than. You're on the honor system so don't try to be more spiritual than you are. There are no right answers or wrong answers. Don't worry (ha, ha) about what is revealed. This was extremely enlightening for me and as I am doing it again now it is still extremely enlightening to me. I will reveal my findings in a later blog as I don't want to influence the results of your findings. No I don't want you to redo the application with this new information in mind. Use what you have. Remember I don't have all the answers. My assignment is to stir your hearts to go and find your own answers.
PS. This is a first. For those who are asking God to open or close your eyes you need to reread yesterdays blog and that actual verse (Matthew 6:26 first word) two or three more times. GOD WILL NOT AND CAN NOT DO WHAT HE HAS ASSIGNED US TO DO. Jesus is telling us to LOOK not that He will make or cause us to LOOK. Perhaps that's why so many people are wishing and waiting to find God's will for their lives. They want God to do everything. Just an observation. And I have not forgotten about rewards. Everyone who has done this may mist their plant within 24 hours of your post.
