How did the Lord reveal himself to me yesterday? I have been asking myself that question off and on since yesterday afternoon. There were a couple things I saw and heard that could answer that question.
I met some friends yesterday for our annual February birthday bash (luncheon).Of the six that usually attend, there were only five yesterday. At one time we all attended the same church, but now we attend and are active in four different churches. One friend still has small children at home (a second family of beautiful adopted sisters) as well as adult children with families, two have children in both college and high school. One has adult children. Then there is me with adult children who have families.
From job situations to home remodeling, from child rearing to college educations to mission trips, from retirement to quilting to fishing, from health to aging, the conversation jumped back and forth. Although the topics changed often and rapidly, one thing remained constant. We knew without any doubt that God is in control therefore the future is in his control too. Amen.
As we got caught up with what was happening in our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren, two things came through loudly and clearly to me.
1. We may be wives. We may be mothers and grandmothers. We may be gifted women, but first and foremost we are blessed women of faith.
2. The Lord is faithful.
"Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near." Revelation 1:3
That is how Jesus revealed himself to me yesterday.
Now to be aware of his presence today.
Keeping watch,
Jan
