While redoing the kitchen this past fall my body got pretty beat up. I was working on the kitchen one night when my wife told me I should go get a massage to help relieve some pains I was having. I agreed and a day or two later called to make an appointment. I was hoping I could get in the day I called but I knew it was probably wishful thinking. I wasn’t surprised when they told me that nothing was available during the time that I needed. I had been to this same place one time in the past so I was familiar with a masseuse there. I looked up another place picked up my phone to call and then my phone rang. It was the first place I, called calling back. The receptionist told me that they were able to shuffle some things around and the person that I had asked for was now available at the exact time I needed. I thought to myself, now this doesn’t happen everyday.
You must understand, I am always quick to listen and slow to speak. Whenever I get a massage I don’t like to talk. But this day was different. From the moment I walked into the door until I walked back out I never shut up. I told the gal testimony after testimony of what I had been through lately. Through my stories I could tell that she believed in God so I asked her about it. She told me she did believe but that her family did not go to church. Out of nowhere I told her I would like to send her my first book. She provided me her address so I soon got her one in the mail.
I hadn’t heard anything from her then one day I had an opportunity to talk to her. She told me that so much had changed in her life recently. She said she read my book and that it inspired her to change some things. Her family now goes to church and she is running after Jesus. She had a joy that I hadn’t seen before.
Looking back now I see how God’s perfect plan came together. No matter what we believe God is always working. More than most of us realize, we are influenced by the spirit world; some for better, some for worse. We usually are so narrow minded and so focused on our lives, we lose track of the fact that our world is being watched. This world on earth is not what it’s all about. We are created for eternity. Where we spend that eternity is up to us. John 14:6 says "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” We must believe in Jesus and follow Him with all of our hearts. Once we get out of the way and allow God to work through us, great and amazing things will happen.
