God Sighting Day 126: I Need an Rx of Jesus

Honestly, today’s been tough. I woke up crabby. I’ve got more to do that I can shake a wooly caterpillar at. I’m hormonal. I just got out of a four hour long economics class. And there are so many sticky-sweet couples at school *insert batting eyelashes* that it makes me want to cringe just a little, die-hard romantic though I am.

There have been only two God moments that I actually saw today:

First – I was taking my morning walk – grudgingly – and telling the Lord that I was tired of trying to keep my (excuse me, but I’m about to swear) shit together.

Then it occurred to me that shit was never intended to be kept together. It’s meant to be expelled. Time to let some of it go… and let God fill me instead.

(Real spiritual, right?  I have no Bible verse for that. It’s just where I am.)

Second –  Jana challenged us last night that if we were in a hard place, we should be in God’s Word more. Not as a legalistic thing. But if you’re more sick, you need more medicine, right? So I asked the Lord where I should be reading.

“Phillipians.”

Okay, that was clearer than normal. But which chapter?

“Four.”

Not remembering exactly what was in Phillipians 4, I opened up to this:

 ¹Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

 ²I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

 ³And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

 ⁴Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

 ⁵Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

 ⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

 ⁷And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 ⁸Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

 ⁹Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

That just really hit the spot today.  Still trying to walk in it, but I love that He gives really good prescriptions.
