true. very true. do we really ever know what lies ahead? nope, we don't. rarely ever. like you may have an agenda or an idea but do we can't REALLY now whats gonna happen until we're in the moment, right? And so often I am learning that it's just best to not have certain expectations at all. Things change SO much and SO fast and I'm learning that we really just don't have a clue when it comes to God and His ways. I was awake several times this morning and finally at 5, decided, heck somethings going on or God wants my attention or something. i hopped up on my feet like there was business to take care of. actually,there was. but before i knew it i was starting off my morning and for those who know me, THIS is enough to rock my world. i DON'T jump up at 5 AM!!!! unless of course there's a major something.....like a fire alarm or someone spewing something from the next room....REALLY. i say all of that to say this: don't ignore the God alarm. it can be 12:30 am, right after you have drifted off. It can be between 1, 2 or 3 am (which is usually when it happens for me) the 3 o'clocks are a TON of fun! my point is this, someone, somewhere needs you. It may be God wants to chat. It may be He wants you to see, feel or experience something that you wouldn't normally do, because let's get real, you wouldn't normally be awake or aware at that time. Maybe someone needs prayer. Could be someone you know, but doesn't have to be. We are ALL called to be intercessors on each others behalf. I went through MOST of my entire morning not knowing exactly what was "up." But eventually, throughout my day, it started coming to me. In fact, its an issue I've been stressing for several days. It was TIME to LET GO and GIVE it BACK to GOD!! just lost a/b 4-5 lines....oh my.....well, i think where i was going was this : you may not even know what you were in prayer for , who you may be standing in the gap for until much time has passed. like you will hear something, or see something or experience an event and it will click in you. "oh yeah, thats why i was up praying." its true. it happens. will you be willing to get up and get on your knees? just say something like, "ok, God, i know this is You, whats on your mind?" "what can i do?" "how can I pray?" "what do you want with me?" I challenge you. The God alarm IS sounding. Will we ignore it? We are called and commanded to strive to have HIS heart.
p.s.this is a challenge for me as well.... NO i do not get up and pray every time i am awakened. however, i must ask; what am i missing when i don't?
God bless!
