Scripture: "Speak to the earth and it will teach you." Job 12:8
I love the way God has spoken to me in today's reading. Reading about George Washington Carver's dedication to his time with God was inspiring. The realization, that his daily discipline afforded him, not only a closer walk with God, but witty ideas and inventions. The God-idea that was downloaded to him during his time with God changed the dynamics of American agriculture.
Spending time with God always pays off. Yesterday I was challenged to wear my waders, if I'm praying for rain, an act of faith. Today I am challenged to pray the type of prayers that invokes God to move...I must pray His will be done in my life. I want to impact all areas He has placed me, with God ideas. (my family, my church, my job, my relationship) Those who are around me will take note of, and acknowledge Jehovah God because it will be obvious that I am not doing anything by myself. It is the grace of God in my life that empowers me to do all that I do. If people are inclined to think it's me, I'll be mindful to give Him the glory.
This is my first year teaching reading and I declare that God is giving me witty ideas to impact these 10th graders; the increase in scores will baffle those in the district. My students will embrace learning, they will put down their phone, and take up reading, which will empower their future. In Jesus' name!
Ending Thought: One God-idea is worth more than a thousand good ideas.

Your gift makes room for you. Dr. Carver was given ten minutes to speak; but God gave him an hour and a half. The honor that Dr. Carver gave God not only turned around the economy for the nation; but put him in a place of honor where God got the glory. I am thinking about two songs with words that include, "bigger, bigger still, where you can walk on water." Another song has words that include, "I have made You too small in my life. . .because I have believed in a lie. . .that you. . .will not help me. . .but now O, Lord. . .be gloried O, Lord,. . .You are highly exalted. . be glorified, O, Lord,. . .We have the mind of Christ. I want God's impact in me to be bigger than things that we see, but the Love, Peace, Encouragement, Joy, etc. . .fruit that can be shared and feed others.
I bless you Roberta as you open up the world of reading to your students that opens up their world to possibility and wonder. His loving kindness is better than life. . even the phone (smile, laugh, joy). God has strategically placed you in that place for His glory and grace to be revealed.
"If we hit our knees, Holy Spirit will do the heavy lifting. If we hit our knees Holy Spirit will reveal things that can only be discovered in His presence. . . .Prayer is the difference between the best we can do, and the best God can do. Nothing is impossible with God.
