Tuesday's thinking

So two days have passed since my first entry. Where did they go?

On Sunday I expected to connect with a friend at church, but he was not there. But he called and we were able to arrange coffee later in the week. I wonder what he will tell me?

Then yesterday I was praying for a young Chinese couple (friends of a friend) who had left Christchurch before we could sense if there was a flutter of the Kingdom there! I asked God to bring them back to the city if he had something to say to them. This morning they e-mailed that they were here. Why do these coincidences seem to happen when we pray? What next, God?

In my Bible reading I've been looking at generosity. I talked to Maureen about giving (yes, money!) to three needy causes. We agreed and I've actioned two of them. The Kingdom needs money and we have control of it, so we need to listen to the King when he wants some of it sent in various directions. The Kingdom needs people, too. I wonder about you, reader. Are you a member of God's Kingdom? Serving King Jesus?

Today I finished reading an old pamphlet called Unique in God's Universe. I was encouraged. There are three sections: You are Unique, Your Experience is Unique, and What You do is Unique. You see, God has a place and a job for me in his Kingdom - a place and a job that only I can fill and do. Thank God that after he made me, he threw away the mould.

So that's Tuesday's thinking.
