Not really sure how people can deny the existence of God. I keep thinking perhaps they just haven't noticed Him working in their lives or can't acknowledge His work, instead claiming things in their own power.
He helps me do things like find discrepancies when balancing my checkbook. Might sound silly to some, but this morning I was getting very frustrated. I stopped and said "I need to find this"....... then instantly went RIGHT to the problem. This was while sitting with several pages of figures before me.
As a side note, those "I need to find this" moments are always directed at God. You see, I "talk" to my Abba Father. He's not this God that I have to always bow my head, clasp my hands together and say Oh magnificent Heavenly Father, etc, etc... While I don't deny there ARE times like that, to ME, He is so real and personal that we talk, like I would talk to anyone else. He is always with me, He's always present and always ready and available to talk to. He and I talk anywhere, anytime. Sometimes I'm driving, sometimes I'm walking, sometimes I'm washing dishes. There are equally as many times that I'm on my knees or literally on my face on the floor too. I love my time/talks with my Daddy.
So back to the issue at hand...... Even in the little things, he cares and this was a fairly small amount to some, just $30, but it was bothering me a lot. $30 is a big amount for us at times. THANK YOU Lord for caring about my finances! I still have much to learn, though. I could have saved 30 minutes of frustration trying to find $30, if only I had asked Him first. Yes, even when you've known God for so long, you still forget sometimes ;)
I acknowledge Him in ALL THINGS. He helps me in ALL THINGS!!
Proverbs 3:6 in the New Living Translation says:
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Yes, even in matters of balancing a checkbook. :)
I love that! It is so true!
