That was my son, Joshie, yesterday to my husband! That made me so proud and happy that my eleven-year-old son is learning firsthand about having a close relationship with God. Woohoo! Let me tell ya, I’m having face-to-face conversations with God. He gives me specific instructions as to what He would have me do on a moment-by-moment basis. Like yesterday, I asked Him what He would have me to do about a difficult situation, and I felt Him saying to go to my book, ‘Keep Calm, You’re Rolling With God.’ I used the scroll key, and these words randomly showed up:
“My child, STAND FIRM and trust in me,” – The Imitation of Christ
I said, “OK, Boss! Whatever You say!’ A couple of hours later, I then go to my God tree for my run/walk. Once there, I looked at the time, and it was 44 minutes past the hour, and I went to page 44 of our family’s website and look what incredibly showed up:
“…This means that love bears every trial with a positive attitude. It STANDS FIRM in hostile surroundings.” – The Joy of Love by Pope Francis
And if that’s not enough for you, I woke up this morning for another appointment with God on our website, and it was 47 minutes past the hour. This incredibly showed up on page 47:
“Do not be afraid. STAND FIRM and you will see the LORD’s salvation (deliverance from harm), which He will accomplish for you today…The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14: 13-14”
For these words “STAND FIRM” to show up from three different books so perfectly was God talking to your girl here face to face, baby! ‘Nik, stand firm; I am standing with you!!!’ Heehaw! What kind of love is this? For God to go to all this trouble to orchestrate the timing of all these appointments, letting me know that He is with me as I go through some deep and troubling waters.
Do you have appointments with Him? This life is rough! WE NEED GOD! Notice how I go looking to hear from Him to get His perspective, and He finds ways to specifically answer what I’m concerned about and remind me that His Presence is STRONG with me. This gives me the confidence to take on whatever challenges come my way, courageously, peacefully, and joyfully. Yesterday, this verse showed up three separate places for me as well:
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” – Mathew 1:23
My husband and two sons are named Emmanuel, y’all! And this is our testimony that we worship a God who is always with us no matter the battles we face. He is with us in our high moments and our low moments. May we all finish 2021 STRONGER with Him! Amen! Make sure you have your alone times seeking to learn His voice and direction for your life. HE ALWAYS KNOWS BEST!!! Wink! Wink!
