God Droplets

I was going along my merry way when all of a sudden, as if out of the sky God dropped a little heavenly inspiration. It was actually a reminder of what He had spoken to my heart years before. Sometimes God speaks and we blow it off not recognizing His presence. But I can't describe how it moves, rallies and inspires me, when I sense God stepping in to hang out.

In the years when I was a widow, desperately longing to be remarried, and wondering how in the world God could marry off a woman with four kids, the Lord popped in one day to encourage me. I was having wood floors installed in my kitchen when I noticed on the companies receipt it said, "Standing on the Promises." During that same week I received a card in the mail that said, "The promises of God are "Yes" and "Amen." God entered the scene to stir up my faith and encourage me with a promise He had placed in my heart long before.

Well God did it again. Yesterday I was talking to Him about some of my frustration with where I am now, and where I want to be. Suddenly refreshing droplets of inspiration fell. He began reminding me that He knew me before I was born and He had a unique plan that He was unfolding for my life. He reminded me that He had given me a message, called me to be a witness and He was on the scene and would instruct me.

Later that day, because I help write the weekly questions for the Home Group leaders to use about the weeks sermon, I received an email with the text for the Pastor's upcoming message. There God refreshingly sprinkled the text from Jeremiah 1:5-10, in my heart.

"Before I formed you in your mother's womb I knew you. Before you were born you were set apart." In the Message Translation it goes on to read, "I'll tell you where to go and you'll go there. I'll tell you what to say and you'll say it...I'll be right there looking after you...I've put my words in your mouth-hand delivered!...I've given you a job to do!"

Don't you love it when the Holy Spirit opens the word, confirms His heart and sounds a trumpet that says. "Don't think for a minute that I have forgotten you. You are in the palm of my hand."
