Can anyone relate to this? I pour a cup of coffee, get distracted doing things, and the next
thing I know my cup of coffee is very cold! Well, I found a solution! I pour my cup of coffee, sit
down in my favorite chair, open the LWML APP on my phone, play the daily Mustard Seed
Devotion and then open the Bible and listen to a few chapters. While listening and meditating
on Godβs Word, I wrap two hands around my cup and sip the hot coffee.
Two hands! As a child I was taught to fold my hands and bow my head before praying. As an
adult I learned those actions do not make for a better prayer, just a less distracted child. As a
child of God, I still need to find ways to be less distracted by my busy life. Be still, and know
that I am God (Psalm 46:10). Taking time to βstillβ my two hands around a cup and listen to His
Word through the LWML App has been a blessing to me. Maybe it will be for you, too.
