today

Look at this picture. Focus in on the cracker. This morning we took communion at church. When the crackers came around during communion I grabbed mine and held it while I was praying. As I was looking at it, I began to daydream. This was what was going through my head…….. I wonder why they use broken crackers for communion? we used these when i was a kid. how did they break these saltines. I wonder why some churches break the saltines and some use perfectly round communion crackers. My cracker is really small…… Doesnt this sound so bad. I was about to take communion and this is where my mind was. I dont know about you, but when I daydream I’m not listening to anything around me. And then I heard two words from the preacher. The two words I heard were Christ and broken…. and then I went back to daydreaming about my cracker. Then my daydreaming changed to this thought immediately. Christ body and life was broken for me just like this saltine cracker. Right then I felt like the Lord was asking me if I was willing to be broken for Him. If I was willing for my body to be broken for His purposes. Even here, in this question. I know He won’t leave me. If He continues to give me bad news at the doctor offices, He isn’t going to leave me alone to go through it. No matter what He brings, He promises me He will stay with me. The comfort of these promises have brought such joy to me today.

Isn’t it crazy how God can take our daydreaming and turn it into a powerful form of worship towards Him. He put my mind on something simple, a broken cracker, and turned it into something powerful to help me today with my cancer. I love My Abba Father. He is so good, so good! He doesn’t put you through something without going through it with you. I love Him so much for all He has done for me this day.
