GOD DID IT AGAIN

I feel so silly sometimes telling you guys about my God winks where everything lines up a little bit too perfect to be an ordinary coincidence, but the same thing that I wrote about yesterday, happened AGAIN today.

Yesterday, sitting on a park bench close to my God tree, reading our family’s website, I took a picture of this verse feeling it was God speaking to me:

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20

Exactly 4 minutes later, this verse jumped out at me when I read my meditation book Jesus Calling, simply continuing from where I had last left off.

Fast forward to this morning. Sitting on the same park bench close to my God tree, I took a picture of this message from our family’s website, again feeling like God was speaking to me:

“As you go through this day, look for tiny treasures strategically placed along the way. I LOVINGLY GO BEFORE YOU and plant little pleasures to brighten your day. Look carefully for them, and pluck them one by one.” – Jesus Calling

Fast forward exactly 15 minutes later, again I go to read Jesus Calling and look at the very words that jumped out at me again from exactly where I had last left off reading:

Guys, for me to go to the extent to take pictures both times of what I felt were both important messages to God on our family’s website and for me to immediately open right up afterward to the exact messages in this Jesus Calling on the very pages I open up to, were not coincidences!!!! God wants us all to feel His invisible Presence that is always with us.

I’m just the God maniac here that He has given this assignment to share with you how I feel and experience Him so that you, too, will make the best decision in building a closer relationship with Him. Let me tell ya, I don’t know where I would be if not for His presence in my life. THIS LIFE IS HARD. But knowing I have the Creator of the entire universe walking with me and guiding me gives me the courage, joy, and peace to take on my life.

Can we all make that decision today of asking God to help us walk closer with Him? It was the best prayer I ever said fifteen years ago, “God, I want a closer walk with You.” Then start spending time with Him every morning, noon, and night, seeking what He has to say to you and feeling His direction for your life throughout the day. The best life is close to God where you know you are not handling life alone; you have His guidance, help, love, protection, approval, support, favor, personality, joy, and strength backing you up, no matter the challenges and difficulties that come your way.
