Devotion 6/9, Is There Room In Your Heart?
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. 2 Kings 4:10
I wonder how God wants to use our spaces or our availability, wherever we may be. What are we willing to do to prepare for others? Are we ready for when Jesus calls us? I wonder if having a space available is about knowing that “the kingdom of God has come near”.
Korean people pray in expectation so that they are ready for when Jesus shows up, wanting to do something in their lives. They are in welcoming mode. They are prepared so that when Jesus or someone he has sent shows up, they can accommodate as needed, serving as people of peace.
The woman in our text was a person of peace for Elisha, and I hope we too become people of peace for whoever may be in need of us.
Are you looking forward to the next person Jesus is planning to send in your direction? Is there room in your heart?
Father, help us to create space in our lives so that we can be people of peace to whomever you send into our lives. Thank you for challenging us to be prepared for every encounter. May I be of strength of heart and spirit when called each day. In Jesus' name, Amen.
