REAL

Snippet

The Savior moved from divine doctrine to dirty feet in a very short space of time. We would do well to remember this.  Derick Bingham Encouragement – Oxygen for the Soul, Christian Focus, 1997, p. 14.
Scripture
O God, you are my God;
    I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
    my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
    where there is no water. Psalms 63:1 NLT
Song
Real to me Nichole Nordeman

Every time I try to find you
Every road comes back around
Just another hoop to jump through
Another mile of covered ground
I am weary of the answers
More theory and cliché
They raise the letter of the law like a banner
'Til you're small and far away
All the questions in my head
Are from my heart instead
Be real to me now
That's all I'm asking
Be real to me now
Every scribe and every scholar
No winners in this debate
Everybody seems to stand up taller
When you're easy to explain
I don't need to know what I don't know
Just got to let it go
Be real to me now
That's all I'm asking
Be real somehow
More than anything
More than anything
So lay down the sword
And put away the doctrine
Love a little more, love a little more
'Cause everybody's broken

Sentence Prayer

Father: I am so weary of
The endless discussions on
The Greek Ending in the 7th declension
When my sister has cancer,
When my brother is facing an unfaithful spouse
When my brothers and sisters are staring at the grave of 
a loved one
Jesus make me a sponge of your love
May I soak you up
So when I am squeezed
Holy Spirit pours out the
Love of God the world needs!  Amen  RM

       A.dore God for being real and always being there
       
        C.onfess the sins of divisiveness you have committed
       
       T.hank God for those who have oozed out the love of God

       
       S. upplication  Who in your world right now needs the Love of God?
