Revelation is a powerful thing. A friend whose heart is breaking emailed for prayer. As I sent one up on her behalf, and emailed a tender response, Holy Spirit turned my attention to my own affairs. I called someone else for a reality check and prayer and touching and agreeing that I am in fact not crazy, I made my way to campus feeling divinely guided all the way. As I sat at the intersection of last week’s deliverance, it was revealed to me that nothing and no one can block my blessing; that the only thing I am to hold onto is Jesus, not a situation or set of circumstances or conditions. That is the only Person I am not supposed to give up on. He will never give up on me!
Sounds simple? Though my complicated journey to this knowing was everything but, the truth itself is uncommonly simple. And, even before I asked, I’d received confirmation of this very thing. Oswald Chambers had reassured me first thing this morning as I returned to basics – Pastor’s message for me yesterday – dropped M’Dear off at camp, went to the gym, split time with a retired colleague in Cali and took a well-earned nap.
When I arrived at the office I was informed that a former student had been looking for me on this “the worst day of his life”. I thank God for His timing is perfect. And truly, ALL things work together for good to them that love Him, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:30).
When He calls, answer. You won’t regret it.
