I am honestly blown away by the smallest things that God does in my life,don't get me wrong I love the big ticket miracles and breakthroughs but there is something extremely humbling and loving about when God moves in a way that only you can appreciate. Ok I think I just had a "selah" moment...
6 billion people on earth ( pretty sure that stat has gone up by now) but yeh 6 billion people on this earth and God does does something that only one will understand,its like a cosmic inside joke.
My spiritual journey since returning home has been tumultuous to say the least but in that I have recognised the absolute BIGNESS!!! of God,that though we are unfaithful He is always faithful. And the past couple weeks I have experienced God's faithfulness at the strangest times but yet when it mattered most.
The night I took my dad to hospital,I threw a tantrum and told God up front "I'm leaving! I have weighed the cost and its just not worth it..rah rah rah" I really thought that would have been the night where I walked away and then I end up running into my uncle in the emergency room ( he didn't know we were there) and he ends up praying for me,giving me a word from God ..and altogether counselling me.That is exactly what I needed someone to help lift my hands when I could no longer do it for myself.
On a lighter note,I went to buy running shoes last week. I was a bit hesitant about it because I know that proper shoes cost quite a bit.Anyway while the shop attendant was getting my shoes I silently prayed " Lord I would really like a discount...I just thought I would throw it out there,I know I haven't been the best with my daily devotions but I'd still like to ask". When the guy came back me told that the shoes had a discount ( not marked on them) and furthermore,because I had to wait a little extra while he looked for the shoes he gave me an even greater discount...seriously!
Last but not least.I had been feeling pretty hopeless and disheartened about applying for jobs..unnecessarily so.But I called up a contact I had for one of the places I was applying and boy did I get more than I called for,after asking her about the business she asked me if I had prayed,proceeds to pray with me and practically preach to me about God's faithfulness and provision...I was just blown away.Those words of encouragement helped me to sit just a bit taller when finishing off my application.
I don't know,some people would call it coincidence or maybe not have noticed these things at all but for me they have been like unexpectedly receiving a bouquet of flowers in the middle of the day,love letters left lying around a messy house, I wasn't looking for them, I certainly did not deserve them..but they came.
Its that something from God that says " I heard that prayer you whispered in the shower,I saw the sincerity of your heart when you cried out in frustration...I hear you"
What love notes has he left you?
"The Lord directs the steps of the Godly
He delights in every detail of their lives"
Psalm 37:23
