A little game from Quiet Life:
1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it. Just grab what is closest!
Here’s mine from the book closest to me, my bible that I keep at my desk here at work (never know when I might need some serious guidance!):
At that time I said to you, “You are too heavy a burden for me to carry alone. The LORD your God has increased your numbers so that today you are as many as the stars in the sky. May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised!” -Deuteronomy 1:9-11
Wow. It even has an exclamation mark (my favorite punctuation, if you haven’t noticed). I will claim it as a blessing. Thank you, Lord.
