Awakening
Let me first say that when I got up this morning, I had a nasty attitude. I was extremely put out and angered at the idea of going to work. My thoughts danced around the idea that I must be insane to put up with a job that makes me work on Saturday. "I will never get through this day!"
Paula had to be at work at 8:30. I didn’t have to be at work until 9:00. That leaves a half hour to mess around at a place I don’t want to be. I got to work with the intention to have some pop tarts and a soda before I started.
I saw Sheila. She had been out of work for a long time because of having major surgery. I didn’t know exactly what her situation was because it just wasn’t shared with many people. I decided to go over and talk with her for a few minutes to just catch up on things.
I asked her how everything was going. You know, chit chat type stuff. I then asked her actually what type of surgery she had. The main artery that went to her brain was 98% blocked. They actually had to cut out the blocked section and graft the artery back together. She said she felt like a new woman. She told me how much God has blessed her because of what He brought her through.
God woke me up this morning… AFTER I got to work. I could talk about several things that came to mind, but for the sake of time, I will only mention a few. Firstly, I was blessed to know how God blessed a friend of mine. It is always encouraging to hear someone testify that God has been the catalyst for success. Secondly, I was reminded that God still is doing stuff. How dare I forget?
God is bigger than anything that could come my way. He knows all about tomorrow and I don’t need to know. Theoretically, I shouldn’t be concerned about tomorrow, which is part of serving a God that is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Obviously that is easier said than done. Nonetheless, God is a revealing God that reveals the truth of Himself in the perfect time, just when we need it most.
I am thankful what God has done for Sheila. In realizing what He has done for her, I realize that He is not finished with me.
