Good Tuesday everyone! Is your week going by Ok? Is it going
great or falling apart? Maybe, it is just a normal week to you. What does that
mean? Normal? I am going to tell you a story and I know I will have some skeptics
among you. Last night, I was lying in bed and really struggling with a
situation. I was attempting to read my new book "The Jersey Effect"
by Hunter Smith. As I laid there reading I could hear a song softly playing in
the house somewhere. I couldn't hear every word just parts of it. I just
assumed that Misty or one of the kids had left something on. I got out of bed
and started to try to track the soft music playing down. Alarm clock? No.
Joslyn's room? No. Luke's room? No. I would stop after every room and I still
heard it. So, I went down stairs and looked everywhere. You guessed it,
negative for downstairs too! Came back upstairs and Misty was sitting up in bed
and I told her about it. She listened hard but, heard nothing. I was very
confused. I went through the house again. I heard it faintly in every room but,
couldn't find it. If you are thinking I am losing my mind just wait a bit. When
I came back to the bedroom and told misty more of what I could hear of the
song. She looked up the song on her phone and then read the words aloud. Before
she was to the end, tears flowed from my eyes. This song was my situation. This
song that my bride couldn't hear. This song that I couldn't find the source of.
I know you might be thinking that I am crazy right? The only thing I knew to do
was fall on my knees beside my bed and pray. My beautiful wife joined me and
tears continued to flow. I have no doubt my God is my "I AM!" He is
there in our time of need. Sometimes speaking to us in different ways. I have
no doubt that we just don't listen sometimes. Let's dig into some of the good
stuff......
Bible Verse: Exodus 3:14
"And God said unto Moses, I AM that I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."
I asked some youth the other day "Who are you?" I
said "If you had to say "I am _____" What would you say? They
always had something to add. But, have you ever noticed that the title God
chose to describe Himself is an incomplete sentence? Check this out, most
people would finish that sentence, "I am... [something]." But not my
Lord. He purposefully did not complete the sentence "I AM." He is!
Are you hungry? He is the bread. Are you in the dark? He is the light. Are you
searching? He is the truth. Are you lost? He is the way. Are you in need? He is
your Shepherd. Are you injured? He is your doctor. He just is what you need.
So, my question to you today is. What are you looking to God for today? Or, are
you just on your own? Listen, it doesn't work on your own. I know. Let's trust
Him right now to meet you right where you are. Have a great day and God bless.
