God has this way of turning all my bad into such good! Like 2020 was looking like my worst year until I said I’m going to flip the script and turn it into my best year by using it as an opportunity to get closer to God. That plan was a huge success! I’m His girl now, first and foremost, and I’m going to Him more than ever, seeking His perspective on every situation, every circumstance, every conversation, every thought, and every action seeking to please and glorify Him (NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT I KEEP AT IT!).
I refer to 2020 as the year of a million falls, but with every one of those falls, I went running to God like a little cry baby, and HE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. He would figure out some way for me to pick up some tiny glimmer of His invisible Presence with me. That meant lots of running to my meditation books and werollwithgod.com begging to hear from Him. He would always lovingly appear. It could just be one word, but I’ll know it was Him, like in this old post:
“I’m acquiring the beautiful habit of always being with God, and I’m enjoying Him. Yesterday, we had a situation with a vehicle that was “SWERVING” to the right when you drive it. After test driving it for myself, we called a shop to take it to for repairs. Right after talking to the shop, another issue came up with a customer who purchased a vehicle from us last week and the bank that’s financing her. I thought, ‘God, what is this?’ and I rushed to read my meditation book to hear from Him. This verse showed up:
“Let us hold UNSWERVINGLY (WINK! WINK!) to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” – Hebrews 10:23
Did you catch that God wink? The vehicle was SWERVING, and the verse said let us hold UNSWERVINGLY (meaning not changing or becoming weaker; steady or constant) to the hope we profess. Call me crazy, but that was God’s way of having some fun with me and His way of letting me know everything would be fine with that customer and the bank. And it was. Our God is faithful!”
So, I want you here with me, coming closer and closer to God. It’s a prayer I said over thirteen years ago, asking God for a closer walk with Him, and He hasn’t disappointed me. He gives me so much more than I can ever ask or expect. Challenges come up, and He is right there to stand with me as if asking, ‘Who is messing with my Nik!’ I know without a doubt that He is the one fighting for me and MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE! Can’t beat that! MY HOPE REMAINS IN GOD!
Will you say this prayer with me, ‘God, I want a closer walk with You?’ and then start paying attention to glimmers of His Presence that can show up virtually anywhere and His nudges and cues in your spirit as to what He would have you to do. It’s a practical experience of learning His voice. Please check out our family’s website werollwithgod.com to learn all about rolling with God on the daily!
