My morning started in the quiet of my house while everyone was still sleeping….making fried chicken! We planned a picnic in the mountains and the guys always expect my fried chicken so there I was at 6 am, frying chicken. But something very unexpected happened while I was frying up our “mess of chicken.” I had a wonderful conversation with God. I didn’t have a Bible in front of me or my prayer journal, but I just let loose and started talking.
It was great! It was the best “devotional” I’ve had in quite some time.
I have been so wrapped up in the how’s of devotional time that my relationship with God has been suffering. I’ve let Satan take over my thoughts when those thoughts in my head should always be directed to God.
Instead of that negative self talk that permeates my thoughts, I need to turn those thoughts, not just into positive thoughts, but into a conversation with God.
“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
