I had a memory-flash yesterday that almost brought me to my crippled knees. It brought with it an answered prayer...the answer I have been seeking for nigh on 50 years.
The background: It was around 1975, and I was with my friend Sylvia who was going blind...we were at Johns Hopkins Hospital for her to receive further analysis and possible treatment.
Sylvia, who had a fairly public reputation, misplaced a book of our Fellowship that had her ID in it. She completely panicked, yet I completely knew God protected her...that the book would be found with no adverse conditions redounding to her. That is what happened, and I gave my first mental high five to the God of my understanding.
Because I gutbucket knew that this was God's assurance...that it was not me thinking, "I'll bet God won't let bad happen"...that wafted to my friend who then could nurse a wobbly belief. Another God-gift considering the condition of her eyes and her stress level which was too high already.
Here's today's miracle by way of answered prayer: I had forgotten that happened, yet it is the answer, gift, solution for which I have been seeking for so long....that being for the Lord to let me know He is with me Now...a sign, an insight, a premonition...anything! Yet I have it...have had it since I received it and trusted it for Truth all those years ago.
It's not that we forget but rather that life adds so much good and less than good that a lot gets swept aside.
Oh! BFO...that's how we build trust in God to provide the readied-and-right swept aside and the never-before-thought-of as needed.
Trust and be not afraid.
Thank you.
