What a gorgeous day it was today! It was unseasonably warm, and I sat on the deck on the south side of our house and soaked up the warmth of the sun. It's March ninth, and it's not usually warm enough to sit outside without a jacket at this time of year. What a gift of spring weather after so many storms and rain and snow. I took a crochet project outside with me; my grandaughter's birthday is close and I needed to finish it. She was here with me today, and as I worked on it, she didn't even ask who it was for. That's unusual, because it's her favorite color, and she always asks what I'm doing and who it's for when I've got a project going on. (hold on a minute; it's daylight savings time and I have to change the clocks before I forget. I'll be right back.)
Spring ahead, fall back.
Interesting. As I changed the clocks, the time became 11:11.( I love changing the clocks because I get to see the exact same time on all of them when I do this. I have three clocks to change in my kitchen; well, four actually. The oven, the microwave, the stereo/cd player and the wall clock. The wall clock is the only one that isn't digital.) hmmmmm.....prophetically speaking, 11 indicates a time of transition, and/or standing in the gap(intercession). How appropriate! I love when the Lord speaks to me through little things. I've been noticing numbers again lately, and I think it's because it's a time of change once again.
This morning I woke up early, at 6:00 a.m., and stayed up. I've been asking the Lord to wake me up early, as I've been sleeping in for some time. He has been waking me earlier the last few days, but I haven't gotten out of bed right away. Today, I woke up, prayed a few minutes, got up, prayed some more, asked Him to speak, and He gave me Psalm 63. This is a Psalm that the Lord has given to me many times over the last several years. I read and prayed it again this morning.
"O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night." vs. 1-6 (and following) How good is our God! He speaks to us in our exact circumstances.
So I began my day with Him, amd I'll end it the same way. In between, I spent time with my family, and I'm thankful that I can do that; so many others can't or don't.
11:11. Transition. Perfect. I started this blog going in one direction, and by following the prompting of the Lord, I ended up in a completely different one. What a great day I've had. I hope this blesses you, or at least gets you thinking. God really is in the big things of our lives, but He's so very present in the small things too.
