Day 18: God Appointments

I am on a business trip with my husband,

living outside of my

GOD bubble~

all tucked in at my favorite coffee house with my bible & my computer,

that I had to leave.

Oh how I love the comfort of sitting with

GOD

in my own protective environment where I am in semi control.

Oh how everything is great when you are

intentional about being with

GOD.

But GOD

takes you out of your comfy cozy zone

& has you enter into an environment where you are not in control.

So you pray for GOD appointments.

And then HE answers in dynamic ways

that you could never imagine~

You meet someone for the first time

& then you hear that

she loves

JESUS.

And then you hear the guest speaker

say the name of

JESUS

in front of 100s of people.

And then it happens again & again...

You realize that there are

GOD appointments all around us,

yet are we still enough & open enough

to the moving of the

SPIRIT

who has moved you out of your comfort bubble

because

GOD

has so many blessings to bestow upon you.

And last night it happened again.

GOD

uniting me with another

JESUS lover

who I met for the first time,

but as if I had known her my whole life.

Maybe this is what CHRISTMAS is all about~.

GOD'S blessings

just waiting to flow from HIS heart to yours & mine.

They come in all different shapes & sizes,

even in the midst of a business meeting.

But if GOD can send

A BABY

into the womb of a teenager girl

& then deliver

THE BABY

to be placed in a manger in a smelly stable

& call HIM a KING

Oh how HE can do so much more

in an opened heart

ready to RECEIVE not only

THE BABY

but THE MAN

who went from the cradle to the Cross

just because

"GOD loves each one of us as if there is only one of us" (Saint Augustine)

So today try it.

Get out of your comfort bubble

& experience

THE BABY KING

everywhere you go

because

HE is everywhere.

And be bold to share

HIM

because you never know when

GOD

has a blessing waiting for you.

All

HE asks is for a willing & believing heart to

RECEIVE HIM who is our greatest

GOD APPOINTMENT.

Because

"HOW MANY KINGS" (listen to the song below)

show up in the most unlikely places~

as in a manger in a smelly stable?
