What do you do
after the cashier rings up your order and then says,
6.66?
Hmm.
I think 13.13 would have been better..
Well, I scared the cashier because
my eyes popped out of my head and then I
immediately
had to buy something else, to change the number.
Lo and behold they sold Jonesbars® (thanks Taylor),
so I grabbed one and my doom was changed.
I am not superstitious, but let me explain.
Right before this purchase
my husband and I were having a conversation about
the real "enemy" who opposes God,
who loves to get in the way
to distract us from standing firm in Truth,
to cause confusion,
to tempt us &
to feed us lies
Hmm..
Scripture came alive to me at that moment~
"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7
Do I immediately say no to temptation?
Do I immediately listen to who God tells me I am,
when the lies in my head tell me that I am not good enough?
How slowly I start to drift away from God,
and then before you know it
I wonder where God is,
while I think He is wondering where I am.
I walked out of the coffee place with my purchases
and a smile on my face
and a story to tell my husband who was waiting for me.
It didn't matter if I paid the 6.66 or not, as a number doesn't decide my fate,
but I had to look up to the One
who once again opened my eyes again to
His Truth~
"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you..
Come near to God and He will come near to you." James 4:7-8
Form Ordinary to Extraordinary~
you are one step away.
