This comment from a friend totally made my day yesterday when we had one of our sacred telephone conversations. We’ve never met, but we’ve connected as though we’ve known each other for years.
She was so excited telling me about her appointments with God and she actually put me on hold for a bit so that she could grab her iPad and read from our meditation book, ‘Jesus Calling’ by Sarah Young. She said, “Listen to what I read at my appointment last night for April 1 and 2.” And she read them both to me, but she didn’t read the accompanying Bible verses that were shared at the end of each one.
We discussed so many great things in that conversation, like she’s working on a course to improve herself on her job and things that she was making an idol in her life, she’s refocused her attention back on God. She said in the appointments with Him, she doesn’t leave until she feels like she has received a high five from God, like I often describe it. That made the God maniac super happy.
Fast forward to this morning, in my appointment with God, and not feeling as if I was getting the high five I was looking for from Him in reading another book, I got the feeling to reread the April 1 and 2 where God totally blew me away.
Since receiving an email from the publisher of my book on Friday, I was a little upset about some of their comments and I decided to rewrite the book introduction before having a follow up discussion with them today. At the end of that book introduction, I had a quote that I love, but I was feeling that wasn’t the right quote for the introduction and I changed it to my one of my favorite Bible verses lately, feeling it much better reflected the essence of the book:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
And the Bible verse quoted at the end of the devotional for April 1 that my friend excitedly read to me, but left out:
“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:6
Once again, out of the blue, everything lined up perfectly, with God assuring me that He’s my unseen Partner with my life and with this book, as if He was saying, ‘Nik, HIGH FIVE, you’re on the right path. Let’s keep going!’
WE ROLL WITH GOD
