Ruth writes: “In my quiet time, the Lord inspires me with thoughts of revelation and encouragement. I cherish these words, so record them in my journal. Some have been read to friends, who urged me to share more. The Lord impressed me that these thoughts were His and not just for me alone. For this reason, I have agreed to share some of my precious moments of inspiration in the Lord’s Presence. I pray they will be an encouragement to you, and you also will be inspired to listen for His thoughts in your quiet time.” ~Ruth Doggette

Contemplate

As LORD of heaven and earth, where am I in your daily living? What do you think I know about you, and howmuch do you think I care? Am I the Guide of your life oris it just filled with chance? The Bible tells about Nathanael, who I saw under a figtree – before he knew Me and came to where I was! (Hewas amazed I knew his location and also his character.) Even after I fed thousands of people with a few loavesand fish, later My disciples were concerned that theyhad no bread – not considering that I would provide! Then, they did not anticipate My resurrection after I died – and were in awe when I appeared where they were! As you draw near to Me – contemplating the Truth of My Word, you begin to realize I am Tremendously Awesome – beyond your imagination! CONTEMPLATE that I am well acquainted with you – knowwhere you live – all your circumstances – and CARE! I desirenot to leave you to luck or chance, but to personally beyour Life – long Guide! (Prayer) Lord, May we realize You are watching for ourrecognition of Your tremendous love for us that causedyou to die so we could live – FOREVER! Psalm 139:1-3 “Oh Lord, You have searched me and knownme. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You under – stand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path andmy lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.” Ruth Doggette
