Scripture: Ps 50:1-6; 2 Kings 2:1-12; 2 Corinthians 4:3-6
Scripture standout: A goodie from Biblegateway today:
“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” 1 John 4:11-12 NIV
2 Corinthians: 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”[a] made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ."
His Deed/The Day: Held lots of doors at the tour today
Deedsclosure: Deeding requires an almost constant self-reminding that I am God's servant in every instant. That is hard to do. Every time I walk into a room, it's not "what's going to happen to me next" but "how is God going to use me here." Once that is clear, the next steps become very exciting! It's like watching a great movie unfold! But it is not easy to be in this constant state of servitude.
What happens when you deliberately tweak your conscience to be more aware of meeting others' needs? Every day? And if it happens to be Lent...for 40 days? What does that look like? What deeds would transpire? What blessings come back? How do we listen for direction? Wake up each morning and decide to be intentional about bringing others better into focus with a little prayer, silence and scripture. Let the daily deeding commence! #DoingUntoOthers #OthersFirst #OneDeedADayGo
How to Do-Good
Quick How-To Guide: Start the day with a little silence, scripture (via Forward Day by Day, if you choose) and prayer. Then open your eyes and make it a practice to be hyper-aware of who and what's going on around you. Deploy that deed with confidence when God gives you his signature gentle nudge. This may feel awkward and unnatural. #NoWorries #GoWithIt #DeedWellDone #BlessingsEnsueJustWait
