It was years ago. My kiddos were tiny. I was debating whether to find a job. A teaching position soon opened.
But I was in a dilemma. Should I take it up or not. Kids needed me full time and I wouldn't do full justice to my job either.
I had just begun to lean on my Friend then.
So I went to Him.
Should I? I asked.
He didn't reply.
I pestered Him three days in a row.
Finally I opened His word and these lines jumped at me quite literally.
"Though you are among the pots, you shall be covered with feathers of silver and gold."
I couldn't believe this.
Instantly I knew it was for me.
He told me though I would be confined to my four walls, yet I wouldn't really have a lack of any good thing.
I felt at peace. All my anxiety regarding how our future needs would be met flew out of my mind.
I began resting in His word.
Each time we were tested.
Years have gone by. He has been faithful to each letter of that promise to me.
My cupboard overflows with clothes folk gifted me with.
Household provisions never ran out.
Kids well into college.
He provided.
I don't know if He wants me to do something now.
Being somewhat freer than before.
So am pestering Him again.
And am sure He'd answer me again.
Friends. He's real. He wants to have a relationship with you.
He's so interested in the tiniest details of your life.
You are so precious to your Maker.
Don't give yourself away to the transient things of this life.
There's a deeper purpose to your life. Don't waste it away.
Seek Him. His unique purpose for your life.
Live it fully.
Acknowledge Him in all your ways.
He will surely direct your paths.
He speaks.
Oh that you would only listen!
