Too Cool Not to Share

I just had to share real quick something great that God did in my T.A.W.G. today (Time Alone With God). After spending some time in prayer I put a DVD in my computer that has numerous worship songs with video backgrounds on it. I was leaving the office yesterday and grabbed it to listen to a version of the song "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" because we are in a study called "Experiencing the Cross" (you can go to www.washingtonavenue.org to listen to the messages).

Anyway, after listening to that song I was clicking through the other songs on the disc and just stopped on one because my mind suddenly went back to the Scripture passage I had just read in the Psalms (chpt. 48). I literally turned my eyes back to the Bible and started writing these words in my journal: "This God is our God forever and ever; he will be my guide until the end." (v.14) As I was writing these words, the song I had unintentionally stopped on started singing the very words I was writing!!!!!

Let me tell you, that was an incredible moment. It was like God was saying to me, "I really am your GUIDE and will be until the end." He is so AMAZING to always show up at exactly the right times with exactly what we need to hear. No matter what anyone thinks or says, I know that God used this incredible "coincidence" to remind me that He is with me.

We were fishing the other day and having a difficult time finding fish. I told the guys I was fishing with that one thing was certain: we definitely could not catch anything if we didn't put our hooks in the water. Every T.A.W.G. does not produce something Obvious and Amazing like I experienced today but one thing is certain: I never would have these experiences if I didn't put my "hook" out there. Let me encourage you to "carve" out time in your busy schedule for solitude with God. All you need is a quiet place, a Bible, a pen and paper and a "SEEKING" heart. God will do the rest! Happy SEEKING.
