This blog is an invitation to connect to God, one word at a time.
Why one word? Because it’s portable. I can remember it, carry it with me all day, talk to Him about it, let it impact me, grow me up a bit. Pretty simple really.
It tastes like a flake of Manna, I think. I need a new one every day.
Maybe you get one word a year, or 500 words a day…and both of those are magnificent. This might still be something you want to try for a season. I have found that listening for one word is both intimate and freeing.
I’m using five simple steps to help me live intentionally WITH God all day long. It starts when I go to bed every night, anticipating that in the morning – and sometimes in my dreams – The Holy Spirit will speak! He speaks so many ways!
1) LISTEN for IT. One word or a simple phrase.
2) BELIEVE IT. No doubt, no fear.
3) OBEY IT. Change my thoughts and actions to line up with the word.
4) CARRY IT all day. I may sing it, write it, research the Scriptures to find it, and ask Him for more understanding and confirmations. Talk WITH Him.
5) SHARE IT as the Holy Spirit leads.
…and that’s about it. I welcome you to join me in this breathtaking treasure hunt. If you’re doing this with me, say “Hey!” in the comments!
