Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed A Study of David! With Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore, and Kay Aurthur

Day 2 Centered on God!

David was choosen by God to establish him as king. 

1 Chronicles 13: 2-4 says And David said t oall the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is from the Lord our God, let us send everywhere to our kinsmen who remain in all the land of Israel, also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their cities with pasture lands, that they may meet with us; and let us bring back the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul."  Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 

We need  to bring back the ark.  What is the ark you ask?  Ark means God's presence!  We need the "ark" in our lives on a daily basis not just in the good times but bad times as well.  We need to be more God-conscious in our lives and let the Lord lead our lives so we don't make a mess of our life. 

If you are a Stay at Home Mom (like me) here are some ways you can incorperate God-consiousness into your daily life:

1.  Print a Scripture verse or two in a large font and tape it on the bathroom mirror to meditate on it while brushing your teeth, washing your hands, putting on your makeup.  Use this same Scripture for 7 days.
2.  Pray breath prayers-sentence prayers as they come to you throughout the day.
3.  Intentionally play worship music to contemplate while cleaning house.
4.  Wake up before the family and go for a walk or jog.  Use this time not only to exercise the body but also to talk to God and listen to His voice.
5.  When outside with the children, ask them to point out a specific aspect of nature and what it might reveal about God's greatness to them.  Pray with them in thanksgiving for God's creation.
6.  Before getting out of bed each morning, offer yourself as a living sacrifice to God and ask Him specifically to make you aware of His presence throughout the day.
7.  Every time you feel anxious or the need to worry, take that as a cue to off the situation to God in prayer. 

I hope this brings some peace in your life!
