Sometimes we wake up to an experience that literally tips our little red wagon. Dumps us out onto the pavement of God's amazing plan. Instead of feeling hurt, like a little kid would if that actually happened to them, we are filled with the excitement of His amazing thoughts toward us. He SEES us!! Wow!
This happened to me yesterday. I'll share. A few weeks ago I was headed to an appointment I flat-out dreaded. As I mounted the interstate, I heard Kari Jobe singing "I Am Not Alone." The words leapt out of my radio. I felt God was speaking to me through them, and I smiled. Later I asked Him to have us sing it at my bible study if He was, in fact, speaking to me through the lyrics. The morning of the study I cranked my car, only to have Kari's voice permeate the atmosphere with that sweet, sweet song. Okay, Lord, message received!
But He was not finished. Fast forward a couple of weeks. Yesterday I read a text from a friend who has recently passed the nurse practitioner's licensing exam. She said she had been buoyed by several songs on the way to the exam, including one that reminded her that she was not alone! I excitedly tapped her number into my cell! When she answered, I said "Sherry? Sherry?" ... the woman on the other end said "Wait a minute, I'll get her!" Sherry picked up the line. I launched into my story about Kari Jobe's song! Sherry began to talk about why she posted that song to her Facebook when I realized that I had another Sherry. I told her I had dialed the wrong number but could not believe this was coincidence. She assured me that nothing like this is....it is all part of God's design. She asked me if I was from California. Apparently, I had not even dialed her cell number, but she was with whoever's number I had dialed. Are we alone? Are we who are in Christ EVER alone?
I think not!!
