My Father. An Acrostic Devotional.
My Father, thank you that you are My Provider
Your Word says…
”The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” (Psalm 18:2 (KJV)
Whatever I need, dear Father, You are it…whether it be physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or financial. You are my provider.
Thank you.
My Father, thank you that you are Quiet-Spoken
Your Word says…
”the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” (I Kings 19:11b-12 NKJV)
In this noisy world, where so many people are raising their voices in order to be heard, You lower Yours. You are quiet-spoken.
Thank you.
–Excerpts from My Father, An Acrostic Devotional. Experiencing God’s Love A-Z by Pamela A. Taylor
Why I wrote the book
It was a way of coping. I was experiencing so many changes. Some good, but many not so good. And sometimes it was difficult to settle my mind enough to pray. When experiencing unsettling times, I find that having structure in my life is very helpful. That’s why working through the alphabet with God in mind, was a great coping tool for me. And it continues to be. It is even now my current practice to use this book in my morning daily devotional times. I take one “letter” per day. for 26 days. In the book, I’ve even provided a blank page for each “letter” for you to write your own thoughts or prayers.
I shared only yesterday’s and today’s pages…the 16th day of the month – My Provider, and the 17th day of the month—Quiet-Spoken as examples…
Additional Personal Reflections
I wanted to share with you what I had in mind for possibilities. Here’s some things I added on my blank page next to
The 16th day of the month —
The alphabet letter “P”
- Purposeful.
- Passover Lamb.
- Powerful: (You defend me from whatever threatens me harm—even the things within me that threaten to undo me.)
From the Introduction in the book:
”My hope is…{to} get you started seeing God with fresh eyes. Helping you feel more confident in your relationship with Jesus in thought and prayer.
“Perhaps you will find this A-Z approach to be a fun activity with your kids. Maybe on a road trip or walking outside in nature. Finding additional words to describe your Father God. The possibilities are endless. I’d love to hear from you about how A-Z has enriched your relationship with God.”
In closing, I was just remembering: women have shared with me their joy that they have found all kinds of uses for this A-Z discipline. When anxious or having trouble sleeping it is helpful to go through the alphabet with God in mind. The structure settles our minds and emotions. It helps to put things into proper perspective.
I hope you will be blessed by this and decide to purchase the book for your own times with the Lord.
If you already have the book, please share a review on Amazon so others can discover this sweet way to draw closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you for all you do.
Until next time…
