God Is So Practical

Day 9   

Hi, everybody!!  [If you are new to my blog, I would encourage you to go to the Archives (from April) and click on “Developing A Successful Life.” I don’t want you to miss a single thing!]

I love talking about all the wonderful things that God has done for me. He is so creative and so fun and He loves to let us know that He is with us.

The other day my daughter invited me to run errands with her. I didn’t really have anything to shop for but I thought I could use some hand soap from Bath and Body Works. That’s it—nothing spectacular. My next thought was that if we go there, I should be two while I am there.

Stephanie picks me up and says, “I need to go to Bath and Body Works.”

Hmmmmm……….

We walk in the door and there is a big sign that says, “SALE—-Hand Soap—-2 for $12.00” (Instead of 2 for $20.00) I pick up my soaps and continue to browse around the store. I don’t see one other thing that is on sale—just my two soaps. 

You may think that God doesn’t care, but the Bible says He does. He doesn’t say, “I will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to My will, except for when you go shopping. You are on your own there!” He’s always with us and He is always willing to help us be successful.

How about purchasing a car? Do you think He cares? What about choosing a career or someone to marry? At what point does He say, “You are on your own?” He cares about every little thing and about every big thing in our lives. When God is teaching me one of His principles, He often uses very simple things to show me His truth. He used “two hand soaps” to show me the truth in Proverbs 16:3. Read it slowly and let it sink in!!

Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.  Proverbs 16:3 AMPC

Selah.....stop and think about that!!
