The Blank Space

“If the Lord be God…” As I was reading through the book of Kings awhile back this portion of a verse captured my attention. So much so, that I wrote an article on it. Allow me to polish this little nugget up once again.

Our pastor, along with his preaching, uses fill-in sheets. And, I might add, he does it very effectively. I, personally, don’t feel comfortable with this style, and am sure I would fail in attempting it. But, though I would not be successful following this method, I have had success using it when I pray.

Each morning, when I awaken now, I say to myself, “If the Lord be God,” then______; and I fill in the blank. For example, “If the Lord be God,” then…I have nothing to fear; I need not worry about my needs; my children are in safe hands; I can do what’s right with His help; etc.

Why don’t you try it right now? You fill in the blank space. “If the Lord be God,” then_______.

If He is “the God of the living,” then, let’s get on with it!
