I am a huge fan of Beth Moore and so I read her blog on a regular basis. She has a way to taking God’s word and applying to real life. In a recent blog called A God For Real Life she wrote the following:
As I was dragging a large trash can down the driveway and out to the curb with one hand, I held the other hand up in the air while I prayed some Scriptures out loud over my beloved son-in-law. And I thought to myself, “Isn’t that the way it is?” God’s Word and His ways were meant for real living. If we keep saving sacred practices for sacred life-moments, we will never truly see our theology collide with our reality. We may feel a tad better at church and more spiritually in-tune at Bible study but we’ll never get the fact that Christ meant to infuse Himself into our relentless carpool lines, traffic jams, elevator rides, grocery store check-outs, expense reports, tank fill-ups, and family fights. If we reserve divine moments for divine situations, we are in for long waits and short visits. I don’t know about you but I need Him more than that.
I wonder how much of our prayer time is spent while we are taking out the laundry, doing dishes or cleaning the toilet? Somehow, we always think prayer is a pious practice to be done in a church sanctuary or in our quiet time. But, if prayer is simply talking to God, isn’t the point really to make God a part of our ordinary moments?

This only my way of trying to live. If I have God in my life, he is with me were ever I go, so I can talk to him where ever I am.
And the best part is I can share him with whoever I happen to come in contact with throughout the day.
What a blessed give.
Thanks Jackie again for reminding us he is with us all the time!
