infused

is your life ‘infused’ with God? Is God the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning? Is He the last thing you think about before drifting off to Z-land at night? What about everything in the middle? I know recently, that reading the Bible more has opened passages and gateways of communication that I had never before realized, and it allowed God to pass ideas and thoughts about topics and scripture I hadn’t much thought about before. But it didn’t all come from my daily prayer, or reading the Word. Some came from Pastors I had heard on a reputable Christian radio station. More ideas and thoughts came from a mailer I received from a true Christian organization that is standing up for the persecuted church around the world. Not long ago I was feeling down about a particular situation, and God had played the perfect song on a Christian contemporary music station. and it turned my thoughts from ‘woe is me’, to ‘Great is our God!’ Are you getting the picture? I feel that the closer God has drawn me with prayer and the Bible, the more he communicates to me through many other means. He is even sending messages through the secular world…look at Haiti. Sure, there have been countless Christian organizations pouring in help, but in that time between tragedy and rescue, the secular media brought horrific images or hurt and suffering, and God spoke to us through that medium as well. So, while I keep prayer and time in the Word at the top of my list, I try to keep God ‘infused’ in my daily activities. Is God ‘infused’ in your life?

The “C” Word. by: Erica McClellan.

Our group prayer always contains the “C” Word.  Cancer.  We do not go one week without praying that someone is healed, encouraged, supported, soothed, appreciated and comforted when experiencing cancer in its many forms – stomach, leukemia, colon, lung, breast, etc.  Heavy word, heavy feelings . . .whew!  Too heavy for nine people around a dining room table – so, pray we must and never cease.  Good too that we have each other.

“For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” (Matt. 18:20).

We share our anxieties regarding the pain of our loved ones and then give them up to God.  How great is our God?!!!!!
