That was me to my sister today. But, for me, these so-called “coincidences” are such a COMFORT to me in this very troublesome and evil world. I know they are His way of reminding me that I’m not alone and that His Presence is always with me AND THAT HE HAS MY BACK.
Like today, I asked Him which meditation book to read in an alone time with Him. This was my morning session to ask what He wanted me to write about today (not what I wanted to write about!). And paying attention to my feelings (His Spirit within me), I selected a book and began reading from the introduction where the writer discusses his God wink, a so called coincident, in trying to come up with a title for that very book.
Fast forward about an hour later my sister in the Bahamas sends me this message:
“Nikki, my Jesus Always is awesome. Today is especially inspiring. It is describing God winks. Thank you,”
See what I say about everything lining up too perfectly to be coincident. For my sister to have her appointment with God in the Bahamas reading a completely different book and author, and me in Nigeria to also be reading about so called coincidences was NOT coincident; It was a God wink! And believe it or not, this was God saying to me, ‘Write about “coincidences” today, and let everyone know this is one of the ways I reveal my Presence with them.
And they are so comforting. Like on my trip recently, one word kept showing up and that was significant to something going on in my life at the moment. I took it as God saying to me not to worry. I mean, the word was showing up A LOT! Even one day, I volunteered to help my hubby with something, a very out of the ordinary errand, and I decided to go a different route than the way I got there, and can you believe I ended up passing a street with THAT VERY word as the name of it. I smiled with God because I knew this was one of His orchestrated events for me to pass that street. ‘Nik, don’t worry,’ was the message He wanted me to have. Again, to comfort me and remind me that I could be happy despite the circumstances of my life. God’s got our back! He’s overcome the world and NOTHING is too BIG for Him to handle.
So, the next time you have a coincident, think again. It’s most likely God trying to get your attention and to let you know He’s with you. Wink! Wink!
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
