Psalm 46:10 KJV – 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
I was just sitting here reflecting on how good God has truly been to me. Remembering when there were times when I didn’t know how I was going to feed my young son. I was raising my son alone because my husband had left us. I was scared most of the time but I learned how to listen for the voice of God… I learned to say ok Lord you got this! And I promise you someone brought groceries to my home the very next day.
Let me share a few more ways I heard God. I was sitting in a Revival meeting and they announced a love offering was being collected for a young couple getting married. I only had $5 to my name and still needed milk or diapers. When the plate came to me I heard ever so softly, “Put the money in the plate.” Well my first reaction was Lord you know I NEED this. Once more “Put the money in the plate.” As the plate was making its way down the row I prayed Lord you know my need. I won’t worry. As I was leaving, the young couple pulled me aside and said the Lord placed it on their hearts that I needed the offering more than they did. God multiplied that $5 before I even left the building. There was $52. Now I had more than enough for the milk and diapers.
One more I will share is a time I was living in Oklahoma. Coming out of work the sky was the weirdest shades of blue and green I had ever seen. On my way to the car a woman told me “Be careful there is a bad storm coming,” Well I got in my car and was driving home. It started raining. ..hard. I looked in my mirror and thought “That is the coolest cloud I have ever seen.” Then it hit me. I got scared. I said “Lord I’m either going home or coming home” You won’t believe what I heard. It was these words…” Turn on Penn” It sounded as if someone were sitting next to me yet physically I was alone. I turned on Penn. I got home safely. The next day I learned that the tornado (which was the cool cloud), demolished the street next to the one on which I was driving. God spoke and got me out of that tornado’s path. It just dawned on me that hearing God speak and obedience go hand in hand.
Do I still get scared…yes. Do I doubt? Of course I’m human. BUT when I step back and see just how loving God is, my heart knows He has this.
Acts 10:34 KJV – 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
What he did for me he will do for you. Just trust him. He’s got this. Just be still and LISTEN
God Bless You
