Oh, my goodness! Whenever I think about it, I cringe just thinking how terrible this would have been, if not for God. He is always speaking to us, and some weeks ago, I felt Him telling me that I needed to take care of a matter. I was busy working on something, and I delegated it to our assistant, Martha, to follow up with my husband so we could take care of it. Every day I would ask her about it, feeling in my spirit that this was something we needed to resolve immediately. But, with everything my hubby has always going on, he didn’t take it as a priority. When we finally got to the bottom of it, it was a pending major explosion. The horror! I’m seriously thanking God more than ever that He helped us to avoid such a disastrous situation. GOD, THANK YOU!!! Phew!
I loved a recent appointment with God reading one of my fav meditation books, Jesus Calling:
“Expect to find trouble in this day. At the same time, trust that My way is perfect, even in the midst of such messy imperfection. Stay conscious of Me as you go through this day, remembering that I never leave your side. Let the Holy Spirit guide you step by step, protecting you from unnecessary trials and equipping you to get through whatever must be endured. As you trudge through the sludge of this fallen world, keep your mind in heavenly places with Me. Thus the Light of My Presence shines on you, giving you Peace and Joy that circumstances cannot touch.”
“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.” – Psalm 18:30
“”For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”” – Isaiah 41:13
Don’t miss out on the most important relationship, one with God. He delights in every detail of our lives, and He is behind the scenes looking out for us and protecting us from terrible situations. But we must learn His voice through the Holy Spirit. Notice how I felt Him alert me to take care of that matter. Through the alone times with Him, I’m getting better and better at discerning His crucial voice and what He would have me to do on a moment by moment basis.
Block off some time in your schedule to listen to God and what He has to say to you. This book, Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, has helped me tremendously in my walk to get closer to Him. I’ll forever be thanking a Facebook friend for introducing me to her writings. A life close to God is the best life!
