I have been doing a lot of reading lately ~~~ I know you have just fallen over and are grasping your chest; because most that have known me for any length of time know I went through school and most of college without reading a single book. In High School I did a book report on a book title I made up and did the report all made up as well. I got a "B" on it due to some spelling and grammar errors; you have to remember, when I was in school we used these things called "typewriters" (google it, they did exist!) we did not have red or green squiggly lines under words or spell check!!
I was given a book by a friend the other day call My Utmost for His Highest. It is a book of daily devotions and a message that you can study what is in your heart.
One that got me thinking was titled Leave room for God. Based on Galatians 1:15 ~~ "When it pleased God...." Are we making room for God to work in our lives? To sanctify us? What if God walked into your next business meeting, your conversation with a friend or family member, while you ignored something that He wanted you to do or say??
What I learned from this was I do not make God enough "elbow room" in my life. I have schedules, appointments, chores, etc to keep, but I have not "scheduled" time to allow God to come and go through me as He desires.
Kind of makes me think ~~~~ where are my priorities set??
