Song: Listen by Marvin Sapp
I’m probably about to reveal how old I really am, but anyone remember learning and memorizing by flash cards? I don’t mean these new cute ones with illustrations and emojis; naw, the 25 cent pack of plain ones you made yourself. As a partially deaf person, they probably saved me from complete academic failure. Auditory learning was really hard for me, but if I read it and wrote something myself, it got memorized. I found the system to be so beneficial to me that I used it all the way through college as well.
It didn’t matter the subject, I had a stack of cards for everything…..
So I’m taking notice that perhaps God is using this method in my spiritual journey as well. My weeks start on Sunday and I get a good Word from my Pastors. But I began to notice that every song, sermon, devotional plan and scripture was bringing me back to the same concept. For example: last weeks’ concept was God is Good. This was not a time for my deeply ingrained call and response, (cause He is good All the Time😅), but it was a constant reiteration of do I understand what this means? By Saturday I’d like to think I was ready for a quiz. When we remove all the names that follow Jehovah, the names that allow us to see Him as provider, healer, etc, He is still good. In fact, I’ll venture to say goodness exists because God Is.
I must’ve passed that lesson because this week is about being who God made me to be and recognizing the comparison trap. I’ll admit, I stumble over this one every day and several times a day. Got the feeling this might be a 2 week lesson.😅
What do you have blocking you from taking notes at the feet of the Father?
Betcha if you ask He will make a set of flash cards just for you.
Thank You God
