The Most Suspenseful Summer (And Now Fall) Ever!
Oh man, I wish I could spill the beans here, but I can’t.
We’re still waiting on my very smart and talented husband to have a meeting with a prominent capitalist. This man is a believer, so I started praying that he would have dreams about my husband. I think, sometimes, God uses dreams to symbolically tell us his will. So, I was praying two weeks ago that Mr. Capitalist had a dream that a bald man (my husband) would enter his office, bringing him something valuable, like, for instance, gold.
Yesterday, my husband was wrapping a gift. It was a book about innovative corporate life and he wants to give it to Mr. Capitalist at their meeting (which we hope is next week!). The only wrapping paper in the house is from Christmas — and it’s gold!
You think that’s weird . . . on the morning of September 8, I woke to the sound of worship music. My husband is an early riser and usually gets up the rest of the house with music. The song that was playing was by Hillsong “He is mighty to save, he is mighty to save . . “. I slowly woke up and grabbed my Bible. I didn’t know what to read, but I breathed a quick prayer, “God, give me a fresh word!” In the back of the Bible is a list of certain topics, I picked “encouragement” and turned to the page number (not the reference, mind you.) The page indicated was devotion about hope and about trusting in God. Hey, this is good so far. Next to the devotional, it had a list of scriptures to look up. The first: Zephaniah 3. So I turned there and as the music was playing, I read these words:
17 The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.”
I read it exactly at the time the song was playing those very words!
It gets better. Yesterday, I was on Facebook and my status said, “I need an encouraging word, anybody got one?” I had a couple of smart alecky comments, but then my friend Kate in Virginia (who knows nothing about my circumstances) said this:
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.”
We’re still not at the end of this big transition in my household.
But I think we’ll see more of these interesting “coincidences” before it’s all over.
I can’t wait!
Continuing in prayer for you, Queen Katharine!
I do love a good ‘God-incidence’ your story is keeping me encouraged Katharine x.
“He is Mighty to save, he is Mighty to save, forever, Author of Salvation, he rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave.” I love that song and verse!
