Kitchen Cathedral

God, examine me and know my heart. Test me and know my nervous thoughts.
Psalm 139:23

Max Lucado writes in Grace for the Moment, a devotion entitled “Your Whispering Thoughts”. He suggests considering every moment as a potential time of communion with God. By the time your life is over, you will have spent 6 months at stoplights, 8 months opening junk mail (both snail and email), a year and a half looking for lost stuff (or more if you are me), and a whopping 5 years standing in various lines. Why don’t you give these moments to God? By giving God your whispering thoughts, the common becomes uncommon. Simple phrases such as “Thank you, Father”, “Be sovereign in this hour, O Lord”, “You are my resting place, Jesus” can turn a commute into a pilgrimage. You need not leave your office, or room, or kneel in the kitchen or the closet. Just pray where you are. Let the kitchen become a cathedral or the classroom a chapel. Give God your whispering thoughts. Then you are on your spiritual journey to even greater things!

Be a Blessing this week, Deacon Nancy Trimble
