Isn’t our God just remarkable? I mean, if you think about it, He takes the time to walk hand in hand with each one of us everyday when there’s an entire world to take care of. We are on His mind from the rising of the sun to the next rising… not even in the darkness (when the sun goes down or when our sin rises up) does He set us aside. I’m just in so much awe of how amazing He really is. I cannot pour out praise enough for what a magnificent God He is!

I have to share about a most incredible experience God gave me this last week. He just consumed me with answers to prayers in one sweep, in the most unlikely way you can imagine! To make a very long story short, a trip to Verizon Wireless to restore service on my phone ended in the sales rep delivering messages from God over an hour and a half. Yes, that really happened! Prayers I’ve been praying, answers I’ve been seeking, the depths of my heart only God could reveal began to unfold right there!

How did that happen you might be wondering? Well, I’m not sure. I was sharing a testimony to the sales guy of God’s hand at work with my broken phone and a few seconds in he grabbed a pad of post it notes and began writing messages down. I asked what he was doing and he simply responded ‘you’ll figure it out later… keep talking’. So I continued with my story of praise to the Lord and post it after post it, this guy began revealing God’s direction for my life, the source of conundrums that have been perplexing my thoughts, what the future has in store, gifts He has anointed me with and interpretation of the crazy dreams I’ve been having recently. There were details delivered from my prayers; things that made me laugh, blush, raise eyebrows and be overjoyed. Only God… only God.

I’ll start to share some of those in the days to come, as they’ve already begun to unfold. But all I can think of right now is this prayer…

Restore us again, O God of our salvation…revive us again, 
that Your people may rejoice in You.
Show us Your steadfast love, O LORD, 
and grant us Your salvation.

Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, 
for He will speak peace to His people, to His saints; 
but let them not turn back to folly.

Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, 
that glory may dwell in our land.

Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; 
righteousness and peace kiss each other. 
Faithfulness springs up from the ground, 
and righteousness looks down from the sky. 
Yes, the LORD will give what is good, 
and our land will yield its increase. 
Righteousness will go before Him 
and make His footsteps a way. Psalm 85: 4-13) (ESV)
