Do you dig through your accessory drawer to find just
the right gem (or tie) for the day?  You
have go-to favorites.  One corner has a
particular color.  What suits your mood
or makes you feel beautiful?  Some days
yield a quick pick while other days you linger in thought.  Some days you forget entirely.  Accessorizing has become a habit.  Routine. 
Finding a daily message from God’s book of wisdom might take some
practice too, but  you will learn to tune
your ears.

 

I like to read a verse several times and let it tumble
around in my head as I go about my morning chores.  Where does the verse take my thoughts and
why?  What does it mean for my life?  Sometimes a word or phrase jumps off the
screen and slaps me in the face offering encouragement, affirmation, a new
perspective, conviction or correction.   Reading
different translations can expand the nuances of a verse because the original
Hebrew and Greek don’t always translate easily to English.  If one verse or devotion doesn’t speak to me,
I read another.  Almost every day, one of
the devotions I read contains a personal message.

 

Search for God’s message as you would for silver; seek
His wisdom like hidden treasures.
