God is purposeful, yes it is a real word, I looked it up because as of late this is what my spirit has been speaking to me, We serve a God with a purpose in mind, I know there are days that we think or feel that things are just happening around us and we are running out of time, we get stuck in an event and concentrate on the present not taking into consideration the outcome of an altered moment, it was seconds that saved them from utter destruction, if he pushed the accelerator just a little harder, he would have change the lives of not only his family but the family of everyone he would have encountered on the road that day, he stands there feeling sorry for himself bewildered by the situation he deems tragic when in essence a thanks goes to God for the mishaps that could have been fatal as his front left tire flew off just as he was about to enter the freeway. It was the entrance lane on to interstate 99 doing no less than 60 miles an hour that day, what brought him to tears was close to what brought me to tears as I stand in awe of a fraction of a second, and how a fraction of a second can be the difference in the domino effects of a singular event, an event taken for granted as God allowed you a bit of discomfort so that many could continue their journey. To me it was a silent hint, a hint of mercy.
As I get older I see more and more moments like that, where sense is made in the moments we deem uncomfortable to dodge unspeakable pain, We won’t understand the one day that the freeway seems clear but your breaks fail to engage when any other day traffic would have suddenly stopped causing an array of events that could in that fraction of a second change your life. I know there is God on those days where the cabinets are bare but a friend you haven’t spoken to in years, invites you to dinner and you sit in tears, she didn’t know, but you know there is a God, on that day that you feel so alone and you are close to the edge in life and you hear that one song, or flowers appears, or a butterflies sits on your window seal, you know there is a God.
I could have shouted that day that I sit in the heat, tires gone bad, but God had already before I could think rescued me. He sent me an angel, he sent me some help because I was struggling feeling by myself, spinning in circles, tiring myself out and my help called me, God put her in my life so I could see that I am not alone and that he is real and that he is my help, I see these moments because two showed up that day, one carried my children home and in that moment I didn’t realize that God was orchestrator that day, he was sending me miracles in every way, he was making everything okay so I could have this miracle where I can say I know there is a God..
And because of miracles just like you, people that stand in the gap and pray until the unthinkable, beyond remarkable, indescribable, miraculous works that can only come from God break though.
