A GOD WINK TO START OFF THE DAY

I woke up to an appointment with Him reading one of my fav meditation books, ‘He and I.’ This sentence got my attention: “…and you will come to Me (God) more sincerely and GAILY (you notice how I repeat that word) because you will realize that you give Me joy.”

I knew the meaning of the word gaily, but I decided to go and look it up anyway on Google. I read some of its synonyms: brightly, cheerily, happily, heartily, merrily, smilingly. I then read some examples of it used in sentences. And after my family and I had the best time sitting around the table teasing each other last night, this was the example sentence that showed up: “We sat around the table, gaily teasing each other and laughing (Wink! Wink!). This again was no coincidence; it was God reminding me that His invisible Presence is always with me. It was as if He was saying, ‘Nik, I saw you having a fun time laughing with your family, teasing each other, at dinner last night!’

That’s every reason right there to be gaily, cheerful, merry, and joyful KNOWING that God’s Presence is ALWAYS with us. Another wink from Him was driving and seeing a license plate frame quoting my fav Bible verses, “Proverbs 3:5:6.” Fast forward a couple of hours, I go to read my calendar at work that I feel God speaks to me through, and it was on the wrong date, but these exact verses were quoted at the bottom:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…

In all your ways acknowledge him,

And He shall direct your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6

And that’s where I want us all, TRUSTING GOD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS. The things He is doing for me lately, I’m just amazed! Like, Wow, God, You did this for me?!? I’m talking in every aspect of my life, I see God’s hands at work. That’s why it’s my pleasure every day to share with you the GREATNESS of God and His intimate involvement in our lives. It’s just up to us to acknowledge Him in all our ways, seeking to please Him and seeking His guidance, and He will direct us on the most beautiful paths. To sit at that table with my kids and hubby last night, gaily and joyful, laughing and enjoying the best food, was all a testimony to a life lived close to God is really the best life (Wink! Wink!). Don’t miss out! Say this prayer, “God, I want a closer walk with You!” AMEN!!!
