My father has SUCH a sense of humor....
I was driving to work, as usual, with my pentecoastal morning prayer. You know, the one that will slay a dragon or smear the lipstick that my enemy is applying.....
I was "telling" God what needed to be done and how it needed to happen. Then He told me in such a profound, but gentle way that He had already gone ahead of me and things were going to turn around for my good. "Well", I thought. Hum..."that was blunt". I then started quoting scripture that applied to my earlier request 9or demand), that God brought to mind... Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". Well, I couldn't miss that...'cause it slapped me right in the face!
I got to work and started reading my daily devotion. The words from the devotion jumped up and slapped me again. Once again it was just what was needed..and I bet you couldn't guess what scripture was used! You guessed it!!! Jeremiah 29:11!!! God is going to get my attention, one way or the other. I just hope I "get it" before my face gets raw!!!
God loves us so much that He will do anything to get our attention. He will use daily devotions, music, books, friends and even animals. He takes time to stop and get our attention. What has He done today to get YOUR attention. Please join me in looking for the opprotunity that He is giving us today........
