Nothing Happened

Listen to the Audio

When one of my daughters was potty training, she would sit on the little kids' potty for about 1 second and get up saying... Nothing Happened! And she would repeat this over and over. 

This reminds me of my prayer life when I first started with God. I would pray and immediately nothing happened so I would pray again. I had to learn to get to the place of believing that the moment I prayed "Something Happened," and to rest and trust that God heard my prayer and was working on it. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude then when we pray something happens. God hears our prayers and goes to work immediately. And we are asking for his help to rest and trust that he is working in those times when it seems like nothing happened. 

Today's Workout/Health Tip

There are the commercials with a guy who gets on a treadmill for a few seconds, then jumps off and weighs himself thinking he surely has lost weight. In health and fitness, it is also easy to fall into this trap of "Nothing Happened." Our bodies don't instantly transform after one meal or workout. It is a process that takes time and consistency. When we eat healthy meals, get our rest, and train our bodies we don't see an instant transformation, but something happens, and it's simply a matter of consistency over time that produces results. 

I am praying for you.
