Quiet Conversations ~ 11
The Little Things Matter
The surrender to the Holy Spirit is something that nothing else can seem to top in this lifetime. The love for Him is remarkable at best to even describe.
We live our lives so much of the time without any thought to our movements of the day and before we look up the evening has come and what did we really accomplish. Did we spend quality time with the lover of lovers? Did we give Him our day and our thoughts.
I am guilty so much of the time, even with how much I love Holy Spirit to neglect Him sometimes and forget that He is there to help with everything.
Case in point. Last week my son got sick and he couldn’t get an appointment that day. I hated to see my son in pain and nothing I could really do medically. I did pray for him but he did need to see a doctor. There were not appointments available until the next day but late in the day and at a far away facility. I really didn’t want to go that far. I was frustrated.
Later that night all I could do was go so sleep but Holy Spirit had something else in mind.
About 3 a.m. Holy Spirit said to me…
“If you call Kaiser at 7 am I will have an appointment for you at the location you want. I will work it out for you.”
Needless to say I was thrilled and called right then thinking they would have someone at a call center. No luck. They were not open for appointments the voice said. Wait til 7a.m.
I fell back asleep and called at 6:55 a.m. Again, a quiet conversation came…
“I will work this out for you.”
I called, gave my important information and the Kaiser worker said they had an appointment at my local office at 830 a.m. I got the first appointment. I was thrilled.
Wow! That is just like God. Just like Him to care about the little things.
So much of the time we think that God only cares about the big stuff our big problems but not something like a simple doctor’s appointment. But He does.
This was huge for me because in all my years going to Kaiser I never get the first appointment. It is just never available. I may get the 2nd or 3rd or later in afternoon but never the first.
We got there that morning and we had to wait for them to open the doors. We were really first.
I laughed as I stood there waiting for the door to open because God cared enough to help out my schedule for the day. I had favor. I was loved.
God cars for you. He cares about the smallest details of our lives and sometimes He shows us in the most simple way to the most complicated one.
He cared enough for my day to help me out in my schedule. I remember thinking while in the waiting area. I don’t know how people live without hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit. My quiet conversations are truly wonderful times of intimacy in deed.
