Red face ~~ An Different Experience Yesterday, 05/18/2007~~

Recently I've been going through various situations. I've been confused, unsure, and seeking God's direction.


Around three months ago I went to prayer on a Tuesday night, arriving around 7PM and leaving around 7:50PM. Well, as I drove off the parking lot I saw my PDA phone fall from the center divider to the floor. I quickly stopped my car and looked on the floor, and to my surprise I found a strange pen laying on the floor.


I picked up the pen, and found a message written on it, is said "God has made everything beautiful in His time." I thanked God for hearing my prayer and responding. The strange thing was my PDA cell was sitting on the center divider after I read the message, yet I saw it fall.


Well, lately I been going through various situations, seeking God's will. I'd rather not publicize my dilemma on AFF. However, I was sitting in my car yesterday morning within a neighboring city, I was about to go pump gas. As I was looking down and sending a text message I looked up and a man stood by my car window.

It was a Caucasian male, dressed in business casual attire. I rolled down my vehicle's window and greeted him, and then he began speaking to me. This man started telling me my situations. He said I had been in turmoil, weak and seeking God's direction in my life. He then told me God was arranging my steps, and that I will soon see it all come to pass.

The man then lifted his hand and handed me a paper, turned around and walked away. I saw him turn a corner and he was gone. He freaked me out by knowing my situations, something only God knew.


I looked at the paper, and only the following was written "Isaiah 40:29-31"


I then quickly opened my bible to find the scriptures, and it said the following:

29) He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30) Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31) But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


Once again I felt the Lord say " wait on me"

Divided,


Yes, sometimes all you can do is just stand firm. Never compromise the word of God to gain acceptance.

What are you being asked to compromise?

That is an awesome testimony! God sees it all and has it all under control.

Not compromise the doctrine, but to believe certain teachings that aren't biblical.
I will never put God in a box!

Isn't it so wonderful when God stops his busy day and gives you a message. The Baptists have no monopoly on having "a personal savior"!

May God continue to direct your steps and my you continue to trust him.

Blessings, rhoni
