Here is a fun activity a friend sent me, and I thought I’d pass it along. No cheating!
Quarantine Exercise: Can you find the names of sixteen (16) books of the Bible hidden in the paragraph below?
I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible (merely by a fluke). It kept people looking so hard for the facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the name of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now.
There really are sixteen names of books hidden in this story!
Prayer
Dear God, thank you for hiding in your Word. You reveal your identity and promises clearly through communication, and I find you there. Keep my faith focused on your truth. Help me learn it, love it, live it, and share it with others. Amen.
Further Meditation
Today use the PRAY acronym.
- Praise (tell God what you appreciate about him)
- Repent (tell God about your sins, trust in his promises of forgiveness)
- Ask (go ahead, think big, or focus on a small detail, God wants to hear it all)
- Yield (talk to God about the next step after you say “Amen,” how you want faith to lead the way, how you are willing to be part of his answer and see it develop for your good)
