GOD CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS HIM WHO SHOWED UP!!!!!!!
In case you missed it, I shared this in yesterday’s blog:
Like in arguing with a lawyer this week about my faith in God, I shared this verse with him:
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” – Jeremiah 29:13
I explained that God is like a shy person, waiting in the background of our lives for us to invite Him in; He doesn’t force Himself on us. But if we seek Him wholeheartedly, He will make us aware of His presence. Fast forward, less than two hours later, I’m having an appointment with God on our family’s website. Unbelievably, this verse showed up from a time when I spoke to some people about it over five years ago! I immediately sent it to this person, saying, “Wink! Wink!” No way this lined up as some ordinary coincidence; this very verse I shared from the entire Bible showed up in a down, tired moment I was having! It was a wink from God at both of us! I smiled with God, having no doubt whatsoever that this was Him revealing another glimmer of His invisible presence with me as if saying, “I’m right here with You, My Nik!”
So, the story didn’t end there! When hubby kept asking me last night on the way home if I wanted some grilled chicken from his fav suya spot, I just repeatedly said, “Whatever my king wants, I want!” He said I should stay in the car while he went to pick it up, and I took it as the perfect opportunity to have an appointment with God. Of all my meditation books, can you believe God took me directly to this message in the Jesus Calling Devotional for Kids, written as if God is speaking directly to us:
“You Can Find Me (God) (Wink! Wink!)
“You can find Me in every minute of every day, if you have eyes that are looking and ears that are listening. Ask My Spirit to help you see and hear Me better. Practice looking and listening for me in the world around you, and gradually you will see and hear more. Search for Me with all your heart—and you will find Me.”
And the very verse quoted at the end, my peeps: Jeremiah 29:13!
Nobody can say all this lined up as a regular coincidence!!! Another one of my glimmers from God (winks!) when everything lines up a little bit too perfectly. See the deep, deep, deep love I feel from God? For Him to orchestrate that alone time in the car, for me to pick that specific book and message to read while waiting those few minutes for hubby, to reveal His Presence there with me, is the unfathomable love I want the entire world to experience for themselves. NOBODY WILL LOVE YOU THE WAY GOD LOVES YOU!!!!! Make today the day you start practicing listening and looking out for His invisible Presence, which can show up anywhere! Sweet!
