God Time

This morning I got a gentle nudge from my Lord that He wanted some time with me. So at 530 I got up and spent time in reading and prayer. It is not everyday that God wakes me up for some one on one alone time.

I have to admit though, reading in the quiet house, just the reading lamp on, is a pleasant experience. I am finding lately that I am more and more drawn to scripture. I do not know if it is the result fo the 30 day Bible challenge or not.

I am finding a new... in depth thought process on things in scripture. I read things more as if they are directed at me. I have begun to look at what I am doing and realize God is there. He is helping make me who I am. I always knew this. It was just on a back burner though, and now it is on the main burner.

Small things mean more to me now. I actually studied hair in the Bible the other day. To most it is "just" hair, but is it that way to God? Look at What the Bible says of hair. It gave Samson his strength. Solomon wrote a lot about it in the song of Solomon, the love story. Paul gives specific instruction about hair in 1 Corinthians 11. If it is just hair, why is God so interested to include it so much? It is used to denote loveliness, strength, pain, anger, so many things. Yet we today just ignore it.

Did you know, your hair can indicate your health? By testing hair doctors can help diagnose illness. The same is true of the nails, though mostly it is the holistic or homeopathic doctors that use these methods.

I guess it amazes me that something we take so for granted God gave us, with instruction, for a purpose. It makes me wonder what other things has He given us that we just zoom on by and do not give proper thought to...
