A BONUS FROM GOD

In following 1 Timothy 2 – I felt compelled to pray for one leader for over 10 years. It was an interesting God assignment. Periodically, my husband and I would drive around this person’s business and church praying for favor and influence in the community. In all of that time I never had a conversation with this person that was more substantial than “Hi! Nice to see you.” This week I was invited to a meeting to discuss a project that is in the works. It was one of those amazing moments when you realize that God had prepared both of us for years for this moment. The Lord had me praying so that when this moment came He would be in the middle of all that was said and shared. The affinity that we had for each other could only be ordained by God. It was like talking to a best friend – someone who I had shared life with for years – with similar thinking and attitudes. We joked about it being a “blest fest.” Who got more blest, me or you? It is so much fun to do what God prompts you to do, with no personal gain expected and then get to experience a gift like this. Why wouldn’t you want to partner with God? Why wouldn’t you want to go on little adventures with Him? I’m still riding the God high pondering what other prayers God will answer in strange and wonderful ways…
