I love it when what I am supposed to be reading leads me to something I "need" to be reading. What's the difference? Quite simple. What I am "supposed" to be reading is what is listed for me in my devotional, on some one's facebook wall, or in some blog that I read. What I "need" to be reading, however, would be the verses that I find because something catches my eye when I'm reading and leads me to a verse that truly speaks to my heart. Today that was found in Romans.
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
-Romans 10:14-15
If that's not a call to missions, I don't know what is! I know I'm being called into missions. That's why I have signed up to go to Peru in August and that's why I'm writing this blog. These verses speak to me more right now than the verses I was supposed to be reading about Grace. That's not saying that missions is more important than grace, because let's face it, without grace there would be no need for missions. I'm simply saying that sometimes God points out the verses to you that you need to read the most.
What are some of the verses that God has led you to in your devotional time?
Your Fellow Water Walker,
