My Refuge

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.

Psalm 34:8 (NIV)

I got this one from a daily verse site. I thought it was interesting. It evoked the idea of God being an experience of all the senses. It is also a simple verse of assurance - blessed is the man who takes comfort in Him.

Give God thanks.

Ministering to Our Brothers and Sisters

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart

1 Peter 1:22 (NIV)

When looking for today's verse I was inspired by the people God has sent to me over the past few days, and who God has sent me to. I have had many conversations over the past few days. In many I was ministering. In some I was ministered to. In one more than the others, I felt that I was both being ministered to and ministering at the same time. In all these conversations, I heard God.

I realized today that I hear God speaking to me differently than some people. For some people, they hear God in their hearts, or in the words in the Bible. I hear God in those places as well, but it is my relationships with my brothers and sisters in Christ that helps me put everything together. Do not overlook the power and value of a conversation with a fellow Christian. You never know when God wants you to be ministering to each other.
