Devotional TIME!


Hey Fusion! You guys and gals are some of my favorite people on earth! Just lettin' ya know!

Since we are in our "Word of God Speak" series, over the next week, I will be sharing some things you can do to help you as the Word of God speaks to you...specifically, as you read/meditate on the Bible and PRAY.

Today you will learn a simple acrostic to help you with the Bible.

Here we go.

As you read/meditate (meaning reading the bible as if you were eating a nice juicy steak and buttered up potato! You chew slowly, taking it all in, and let it digest...of course, some of you probably dig your fork in and pig out like there is no tomorrow...especially if you just downed an energy drink!)...but as you read/meditate on a bible passage, ask yourself these questions...it is easy to remember, so you can do it where ever you are...It's called: S.P.A.C.E P.E.T.S

***You could even use these in D-GROUPS!

Read a chapter, for example, John 3, and ask:

Is there a:

Sin to confess?
Promise to claim?
Attitude to change? Am I willing to work on a negative attitude and begin a positive one?
Command to obey? Am I willing to obey no matter how I feel?
Example to follow? Is it a positive example for me to copy? A negative one to avoid?

P
rayer to pray? Can I pray this exact scripture BACK to God for me or others?
Error to avoid? Is there a problem that I should be alert to or beware of?
Truth to believe? What does the passage say about God the Father? God the Son? God the Holy Spirit? What does it say about how God relates to humans?
Something to praise God for?

S.P.A.C.E P.E.T.S----try to memorize it and then you will be able to ask yourself these questions to help the Word of God speak to you where ever you are!
