- Now…pray and ask Holy Spirit to highlight something from this post and to teach you. (Perhaps he already highlighted something as you were reading!). Close your eyes and be silent before him for a minute or two...or more. Breathe in Holy Spirit. (Yes, actually inhale.) Listen. Open your eyes and peruse the post. What does your eye see or your ear hear? Write it in your journal.
- Why does it seem important? You could even ask: Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit, why have you brought this to my attention? Write the answer in your journal. (The answer may be a question…an I wonder. Allow Holy Spirit to direct your thoughts.)
- Make it a prayer. Pray the scripture (and it’s insights, questions, or comments) back to the Father. Write this in your journal.
- How are you going to be different after this experience with God? What does he want you to be or do as a result? If you are not sure, ask him. Write this in your journal.

#20 in the Series: My Daddy Is…
I bet
this has happened to you:
You
call a friend or stop by their house.
Some one else answers. If you
are at the door they may even invite you in.
Then, when you ask for your friend, they say, “Oh, I’m sorry. They’re not available.” We know our friends welcome us, but they are
not
always available. Life and busyness can keep our relationship
distant.
What a
privilege to know that God not only welcomes us, but he is so available that
he knows what we need BEFORE we ask.
When we knock on his door, he opens it because he is always there for
us. He is literally waiting for us to knock.
Meditate
on these scriptures. Ask God to reveal
his availability to you today.
“‘Ask and it will be given to
you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For
everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who
knocks, the door will be opened.’”
Matthew 7:7-8 NIV
“You will seek me and find me,
when you seek me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:13 ESV
“I love those who love me, and
those who seek me find me.”
Proverbs 8:17 NIV
“Before they call I will
answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.”
Isaiah 65:24 NIV
I look forward to
this journey with you! Onward to
freedom for your mustang heart!
