Did You Get the Message?

Did you have any text messages today?  What about voice mails?  Anyone send you an email?  Hmmm...what about that one from God? I'm certain He sent you several.  Did you see it?  It was there.  The key is are you tuned in to how God is speaking to you each and every day.  He uses a myriad of ways to communicate His plans, His purposes and His will for your life to you.  May I share with you one of His messages to me today?


Today I headed to Louisville for a root canal.  This is the bulletin board that I saw in the restroom of the endodontist!  As I read over the Scriptures I had to marvel at the timeliness of the messages.  I am reminded that God's Word is always on time.  A couple of the post-a-notes were like someone put them up just for me.  It was like they knew I was coming and needed the reminder.  It was as if it was God's love letter to ME.  But you and I know that no matter who came into the restroom today it was God's love letter to them as well.  That is the power of a living holy Word that is active.  I thanked God for His reminder and for showing me why it was worth the drive to Louisville.  (That was reconfirmed after meeting the endodontist, talking with him and having him do the work!)

Two of the Scriptures in particular caught my eye.  One because I have one of the exact same Scriptures on a post-a-note (different color) on the mirror in my bathroom!  Yes, I am paying attention, God!!!  Secondly, another of the Scriptures is an area that I'm focused on right now to make changes.

No.  I do not believe all of this is coincidence.  Yes.  I do believe that God works all things together for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.  Yes.  I do believe that when we as His children live our lives in a way that demonstrates our faith in Him and reflect His Word OTHERS are blessed.  HE GETS THE GLORY!  God can communicate to us in any way He chooses.  Often He chooses US to be conduits of His Word to send a message.

My prayer today is that you will receive a message from God that He is deeply in love with you, that He is a God of peace and has a good plan for your life.  My hope is that each day you will actively seek His message for your life through His Word as well as be a conduit of His love for others.  So, "Did You Get the Message?"
