13 This will be my third visit to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.” 2 Corinthians 13:1, Deuteronomy 19:15
God is speaking to us as we walk through our daily lives, listen for His nudges!
At the beginning of last week Anne’s granddaughter rang to ask for help with a maths question and thankfully we were able to assist her. The answer to her question became the beginning of a trail led by the Spirit during the forthcoming week.
I had to go to an auto shop to buy something for my car a couple of days later. The salesman wasn’t sure which product to give me as there were several options. He checked and then told me that the one I wanted had the same number as the answer to the maths question. I only realised that it was the same number on Friday evening. I told Anne that the number had come up twice during the week and wondered if the Lord was giving us a message.
So I was awake early on Saturday morning past and eventually I decided to turn on my phone. When I touched the phone the time which appeared on the screen was exactly the same number to the minute that I’d already seen twice previously during the week.
25 At that time Jesus said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and REVEALED THEM TO LITTLE CHILDREN. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. Matthew 11
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, UNLESS YOU “CHANGE” AND BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18
Children are curious and I believe childlike curiosity and trust is something God looks for in us, His Church family. I’m not trying to build a theology out of these events, but do be aware of the leading of God’s Spirit as you walk with Him through your week. Be willing to change and grow some childlike faith, you might be amazed at how He’ll speak to you. Then you’ll have all the fun of deciphering what the Spirit is saying to you, more childlike faith required.
May the Lord bless and keep you today and throughout your week. Immanuel, God is with us.
