GOD BLOWS ME AWAY WITH HIS DETAILED ATTENTION TO OUR LIVES
So, we have this job of repairing a fleet of vehicles, but because of the large number (the favor of God in action, baby! Those who look to Him will not starve!), we’ve been taking them in BATCHES. We’ve already finished the first batch, and this morning, we planned to start delivering the second batch (BATCH 2!). I woke up all excited for the boys and me to join hands with hubby to give our best (and leave the rest with God) in sending out BATCH 2. Can you believe God figured out a way to let us know that His invisible Presence is with us in delivering these vehicles?
I asked Him what page He would have me read for my appointment with Him on our family’s website. The feeling from Him was to go precisely to page 7 out of 144 pages. Look what incredibly showed up:
“And the love He shows me with all these glimmers of his Presence popping up everywhere. Like Julie and I had the hardest time finding parking today at the airport. She is my second daughter that I’m taking to university in New York (our batch 2!), and a few cars away from where we found parking, there was a car with a New York tag that says, “Batch 2 (Wink! Wink!).” No coincidence, but God letting me know that as I’m taking my “2nd batch” to New York, His invisible Presence goes with us! HEEHAW!”
That “BATCH 2” showing up there as we continue our family hustle in delivering BATCH 2 of these vehicles was all God orchestrated and arranged to let us know that His Presence is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS with us! Amen! He lovingly goes ahead of us, planting these glimmers of His Presence to brighten our days and remind us that He is there. This gives us the courage and peace to joyfully take on our lives with Him as our loving PARTNER AND GUIDE. HEEHAW!!!
“Neeks, I want you to work on being a wise woman.” These words also showed up in my alone time with God from my brother, Kevin, years ago. His profound words have led my life to a beautiful place because I’ve discovered that wisdom is learning to go to God at every moment seeking His perspective on our lives, and doing our best by being obedient to what He would have us do. Through all the ups and downs, I’ve crucially learned to TRUST GOD’S DIRECTION. His ways are always best!
Not always easy, but we must do our best to PAUSE before making decisions and seek God’s input. With practice, you will undoubtedly know what God is saying. Notice how I felt Him in my spirit telling me which page to read – HIS SHEEP KNOW HIS VOICE! He plans to prosper and not harm us, but we must discipline ourselves to practice His Presence at every moment (never alone, baby!), asking Him to direct our steps. He loves us so much and promises never to leave or forsake us. It’s just for us to involve Him in the 1,000 decisions we make daily. Make sure you have appointments with Him where you learn His character and who He would have you to be.
