I am in the process of moving which means that I am living between two places right now. I sleep at one place and wake up and drive over to the other place to get ready for work. I can’t wait to get all moved in and have everything at one place!
The other morning I wanted to spend some time in my Bible and pray, but of course, my Bible was at the other house. My first thought was, “Oh well…I guess I can’t do that,” and I started thinking about the next project. But immediately after that I heard in my spirit, “You can get on your face anywhere.”
I stopped what I was doing and thought about that, nodded my headed, and got right on my face to pray.
Those words have stuck with me.
I love my Bible and God speaks most often to me through it. However, it isn't the only way I encounter and interact with Him. All those people in the Bible, who didn’t have a leather bound Bible with their names engraved on the cover, still encountered and interacted with Him. Some were fishing, some were in prison, some were running errands, and some were outright running away. But their common denominator was that they were all just doing life. Just like we are.
I’ve knelt on many a bathroom floor in desperation for Him. I’ve fallen to my knees in the middle of the street while out on my nighttime walk. I can get on my face anywhere. So can you. Let those words stay with you today.
As Samuel once said while he was half asleep, “Speak, GOD. I’m your servant, ready to listen.” 1 Samuel 3:9 MSG
