W – Wonder
Have you noticed any “coincidences” this week? Could God have been weaving things together? Share your experiences.
A – Activate
Let’s be on the lookout today. Let’s ask, “Holy Spirit, who do you want to bless through me today?”
Y – Yield
If the name of a friend pops into your head today, or you notice a stranger while you’re out and about, ask God if he may want to share some word of encouragement with them. Pause, breathe, and listen. You may see a picture in your imagination or a word may come to mind or you may sense something in your gut. And then take a risk and share it. If you tell the person and it doesn’t resonate, that’s okay — you just encouraged them, and don’t we all need a little more encouragement? But if it did resonate, it may change their entire view of God’s love for them or help them walk into the destiny God has planned for them — and isn’t that totally amazing?
