“BUT THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!”

I loved this from my friend, Lisa, who I wrote about yesterday. Honestly, I’m in Nigeria, but God had me to contact her in Florida to remind her about her appointments with Him. The first day I contacted her I wrote in an email, “Don’t know why you came to mind today!” but after reading her reaction to my post yesterday about these so important alone times with Him, I now know. As you will read, she was missing God and God confirmed He was missing her too. Here’s what she wrote:

“Nikki you just don’t know how much you confirmed what I experienced this morning! I injured my calf in March and this week was my first back working out in six weeks. Sometimes while working out I listen to my praise and worship playlist – it’s either that or old school hip hop (two totally different extremes), but I digress

However, this morning I got lost in the praise and worship and forgot I was in the gym. The spirit over took my entire being. I began shaking my head and waving my arms at how good HE has been to me while on the Stairmaster!!! I went into the sauna after my cardio – still listening to praise and worship. It struck me again and tears began to form. I realized that THIS was my personal time with God that I had been missing for the past 6 weeks and even more.

I would get so caught up in praising him that I forget I’m working out. I also use time in the sauna to meditate and ask that he order my steps for the day! I have been lacking this guidance lately and have felt like I’ve been a rut. I’m always tired no matter how much sleep I get, and last night I even started questioning if I was experiencing mild depression. BUT the devil is a liar!

For you to remind me about the book on my personal time with God yesterday, and for me to make that connection this morning – while not realizing your post was about me… All I can say is MY GOD!

Thank you for the confirmation I needed that no matter how crazy things are I MUST have time with Him each and everyday.

Continued blessings my sister ”

I don’t think I’ll ever get over how God loves each and every one of us. For Him to put it on my spirit all the way in Nigeria that something was up with Lisa and that I should contact her just blew this God maniac away yesterday.

KEEP CALM, YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
