not so ironic

so last night my husband told me his college cohort all prayed for us and a situation we have been going through that has really shaken up my world. I really felt Gods presence as well as peace, joy, and confidence that night. I'm so thankful how He uses others to intercede and cover each other in God's love, grace and beauty. As I went to bed I decided to pick up a dusty Read the Bible in a Year book I started last year but only made it through March or so. Instead of picking up where I left off I felt prompted to go to today's date. When I opened it- the story was about the character Rachel in the Bible. Huh... One of the first lines was EXACTLY what God wanted to speak to me and it had MY name in it. As I read it I knelt beside my bed and wept. How good is God? That He wrote a promise for me over two thousand years ago and knew it would change me today. If you are in a place in life now where you feel God isn't working- don't doubt Him. He can't wait to reveal His promises to you. I am still in a valley but He keeps showing me His rays of light to guide me. Just when I feel I can't stand anymore He is there with great friends, His word, His presence....All I can say is Abba God you amaze me.
