Sometimes...The Tiny Things Are HUGE!

When you check your schedule and the meeting begins at 8:15...instead of 8:00...

When you pull into any parking lot and an empty spot is waiting that protects at least one door from getting binged...

When you need a medical text but no openings exist until Nov...but one is now open on Tuesday morning...

Some might argue these are just coincidences.  I say this is God saying my timing is perfect, and I will always take care of you.

The parking spots began during the time when my sister was in the hospital for months.  I arrived at all times of the day and night, depending on her status, and a parking spot would be waiting, often close to the front...always on an end...just for me.

Sometimes, God speaks in a loud voice.

Sometimes, He quietly whispers.

Sometimes, He opens a parking spot just for me...time after time.

So I testify to those in my vehicle as they witness the available spot, for I know He wants to assure them, too, that He just as mindful of them.

Watch.  Listen.  See.  He is there for you, also.

Go in Peace

This morning, this scripture speaks to me:
"But may the LORD forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I have to bow there also--when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD forgive your servant for this."
Here, Naaman speaks, having just been cleansed of leprosy and having just acknowledge God as his God (yay!  good times!)  Might I add...a Naaman who had just consumed a dose of humility (times 7!).  Sometimes meds are just hard to swallow...ask anyone preparing for a colostomy!  I know...I had my first one recently.  Gracious!  Ugh.) 

I digress.  Sorry...:)

Back to Naaman.  On fire for God!  Excited!  But.  Reality sets in.  His world.  His "real" life.  His mission field.

He knows that part of his job is to take his boss to worship false gods. A job he must do.  Can't get out of it...and still remain on the mission field.

Interesting.  May we pause here?  And think.

In our every day lives, under what circumstances do take a stand while also bowing?

Very interesting.  Anything coming to mind.

God is so mindful...or should I say He is so "heart"ful, for He truly knows the intent of our hearts.  Of every single heart.

Glad I am to serve the One True God!
