Lost bag, found book Soap reading.

I lost my bag the other week I left it on the grass by the footpath outside the Child Care.  I might as well as put up a sign pick me up. Someone did. 

In it was our new camera, some magic tricks, a Jews harp, and my sunglasses and a yellow note book I had been using as journal for  my devotions.

I reported it missing and went looking around for it,  putting  notices up at the shop and post office. On the Sunday Robert had a ring  from someone who recognized his name and phone number in the book. It had been put  on top of a rubbish  bin outside Lukas' house two days after the bag went missing. 

The other things from the bag haven't come to light. I thought I should share some of the  devotionals with you as I had given them up for lost perhaps they are meant to be shared.

I have been using Wayne Cordeiro  (The Divine Mentor )  for more information go to www.divinementor.com. Wayne's suggestion is that your devotions ask God to speak to you  with one point and journal it, at the heart of the journaling is and easy to remember acrostic: SOAP 

S  = Scripture

O = Observation

A = Application

P = Prayer

Scripture Psalm 55:22

Cast your cares on the Lord

and he will sustain you

he will never let the righteous fail.

Observation

Cast cares on the Lord

God is able to take them

He will sustain

Cares it's plural

Nothing too big or too small for God.

His guarantee: He will never let the righteous fail

Application

What is worrying me?

What is upsetting me?

What is bugging me?

Take it daily to God

Don't let it build up or be deprived of peace

Receive sustenance

Prayer

Thank you God

You never let me down

Thank you for the sustenance you provide

Taking  away my cares.

I think I have stopped being grumpy about losing my bag.  Karen says I should get a tattoo for my birthday.

A check list  on my arm.

Bag, keys, glasses, wallet, hearing aids, sunglasses, cellphone.

Greetings Ian and Karen
