CAUGHT!
That was me a few minutes ago, by God! Here I am, the God maniac here telling you guys to trust God, and yet all day, my faith in Him has been going up and down. I screamed at myself, saying, ‘What’s wrong with you, Nik!’ Can you believe God found a way to address this issue with me? His love!
So, I had an appointment earlier in the day with my son, Joshie, and I felt God saying in my spirit that I should go to the very next day from where we left off, and look what showed up in our Jesus Calling Daily Devotional For Kids (written as if God is speaking to us):
“In math class, you learn that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. So let’s pretend that you are at point A and I am at point B. The quickest way for you to get from A to B—to Me—is through the straight line of unwavering trust.
The key is unwavering. It means trusting me constantly, no matter what. Because when your trust wavers—when sometimes you trust Me a lot, other times only a little (here is where He completely caught me, guys, doubting Him today!), and other times you completely forget Me—then your straight line of trust starts to have lots of twists and turns. You can still reach Me—eventually. But you will have wasted a lot of time and gone through a lot of unnecessary trouble. When you realize that your trust has wavered, just whisper, “I trust You, Jesus.” And I will draw you back onto the right path with Me.
Trust in Me with all your heart, and I will make your path straight.”
Amen! Honestly, I had such a great appointment with God by my God tree today, where He again figured out a way to let me know that His Presence is always with me. It was my angel friend/mechanic Jeffrey who came by to help me out yesterday. Because I got to my God tree at exactly 6:23, I went to page 23, where an old post about Jeffrey showed up:
“God is blowing me away with all the love and attention He shows me!!! In every aspect of my life, He is showing up! Like, I called my husband in Nigeria asking for help with a vehicle that we had already sold with a coolant problem. He was busy and didn’t have time for me. Can you believe within the hour, a mechanic friend (Jeffrey!) just happened to stop by and was able to diagnose the problem within minutes? It was the radiator cap!”
It was another one of my God winks where everything lines up too perfectly to be an ordinary coincidence. Out of 146 web pages, for me to go precisely there after spending most of the day with Jeffrey yesterday was all God revealing another glimmer of His invisible Presence with me. Like He was personally saying, ‘I see everything about you, my Nik!’ And His Presence gives me the faith and courage to keep going. I hope you are having your alone times with Him, reading or listening to anything that makes you feel connected to Him! MAKE GOD YOUR TOP PRIORITY AND FOCUS!!!
