Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. Soon after I opened my eyes and gave thanks to the Living God for another day to Serve, someone came to my mind “out of nowhere” and I began to pray. I wasn’t even awake enough to be thinking about anybody, but God put them on my heart. I have no idea what’s going on with them but my Heart could feel the burden so I carried their load in prayer. No organized prayer list on the planet could ever measure up to those times when God Almighty stirs up the spirit on behalf of someone else to drive us to my knees before His Throne. It takes a spirit that has been Sensitized by the King of all Kings to understand that nothing happens “out of nowhere.” Isn’t that the way it is for you too?

If we could peel back the layers of Heaven to watch God working behind the scenes I’m pretty sure it would shock us to see all the times He’s called upon us to step-up but we ignored the Call. How many times have we had a thought “out of nowhere” that gets chalked up as a coincidence, so we do nothing about it at all? How many times have we “just happened” to be in the right place at the right time and we chalk it up to coincidence or luck of some kind? How many times has someone come to mind and before we could turn around twice we “just happened” to bump into them or they just happened to reach out to us? How many times do we have a thought or a dream about someone we haven’t seen or heard from in years and we just chalk it up to good (or bad) memories? How many times have we rolled our eyes over bad behavior in a public place and we whine about our misfortune of getting in their path as if we ordain our moments? There’s no end to those Opportunities we choose to ignore OR things we easily chalk up to coincidence. None of us get it right all the time, but it takes a Sensitive Spirit willing to be guided by the Hand of God to listen to the whispers of God instead of waiting for a shout out from Heaven. This is the Key to Walking in the Spirit through this Journey called Life.

I began this new day with a burden for someone I wouldn’t begin to know how to reach…but God knows where they are. I prayed for someone not knowing what the needs are…but God knows their needs. I don’t understand the Mind of God or why He does what He does when He does it…or why He would nudge me to pray for that person this morning. All I DO know is that I want my spirit to be Sensitive to His whispers and I don’t want to chalk anything up to “coincidence” EVER.

How about you?
