I took it with me when I went to Nashville last week. I also, as habit dictates, lost one of the lens covers. What! Not the end of the world, of course....just a minor annoyance....I mean the camera is not quite a month old!!
On to the present. Tuesday I wrote about intentionality. And then got tested on it withing a couple of hours. My husband does not like to hang up his coats, sweatshirts......drives me crazy, just like most married couples I guess...we are at opposite ends in this equation. I want everything put away...he on the other hand, well lets just say if I didn't keep up, we would have piles upon piles of this, that and the other thing gracing the flat surfaces of our home. So I took the coat out of the dryer...and there came the thoughts....well, I don't want to hang this up...he never does, why should I. Hmmmmm, not very loving, right? But then I heard that little voice inside of me....sow a seed of intentional love. Okay, so I went to the closet and put the coat on the hanger and away it went. And then came the Lord's response....a camera lens cover dropped at my feet! It was so awesome, like an angel just hit if off the shelf. I believe God answered my act of obedience with a positive encouraging gesture to show His approval and happiness at my obedience. Both were just small acts in this physical realm, but large in the spiritual realm. I'm thinking obedience is always big in the spiritual realm no matter how insignificant the behavior might seem in our natural eyes.
What a great encouragement for me. And hopefully for you too. I know that every time I sow a seed of obedience I am not going to have such a tangible sign, but I guess the Lord wants to encourage me down this path of intentioality.
Thank You Lord for cheering me on, for the blessings seen and unseen that happen when we obey. Help me to keep walking.
