It's the start of week 2 brethren, which means we are getting closer to Christmas. Welcome to 40Days Of Gratitude day 8! Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I am looking forward to reading your comments and sharing your stories: Revelations, problems solved, ideas conceived and birthed etc.
🙏🙏🙏
At the end of the devotion I invite you to do a short quiet reflection of 5 - 10 minutes. Breath deeply and focus on your breath - inhalation and exhalation. If your mind is "busy" repeat the gratitude of the day or your own personal gratitude that comes to mind. This quite time will allow you to hear from God.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Today I am grateful and thankful for clarity of mind and a heightened sense of awareness for it was not always like this. When I was younger I dint understand intuition. The older folks used to admonish young people to trust God and do what is the will of God but they did not explain what this was or how to know what is the will of God. I sincerely wanted to do God's will but I didn't understand much; plus I was confused and conflicted about what I wanted and what God wanted for me. I am grateful for the progress that I have made over the years and for those whom you have put in my path, Lord, as well as the circumstance's that landed me on the path of the seeker. I am continually drilling down deeper to know your Truth.
THOUGHT TO FOCUS ON:
Because I have a clear mind I am decisive in making decisions and taking action. I know that, as the scripture has said, a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways.
SCRIPTURE:
Romans 12:2 (ESV)-Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
PRAYER:
Righteous, loving God, as you have open up my understanding and increased my ability to discerns - to see and hear past the visible and the audible, I pray father God that you will impart these gifts to all who seek you and who are lacking and those of us who still need to get deeper in your word and your ways. As we continue to seek you and get closer to you I pray that you will increase our knowledge, wisdom and understanding so that we are equipped to carry out your perfect will in our lives and help others on their journey. Increase our joy and our peace in you, and let us walk with boldness.

As we go about our routines today, let us pay attention to the "ah ha" moments, the insights that the Lord put in our minds through the Holy Spirit. It may be the solution to a problem, or the answer how to approach something or someone. This is how God speaks to us. You may just get up and know how to do something that has been stressing you - that has been my experience!
Grace & peace,
Grace & peace,
Beverley
