The previous blog highlighted God hears and listens to our prayers. This week we will highlight God making our crooked places straight. For years I have heard this quoted by many people. However, I wasn’t sure exactly what it meant until recently, I had experienced it recurrently.
CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT: One
This experience happened when I was working on a project. We were participating in an event and the set up location was not favorable. It became concerning and alarming to me. Instead of me complaining or trying to negotiate something better, I instinctively took it to God. Our God hears and listens to our prayers, right? So, I took it to Him!
When the day came for it to be discussed, I talked about a different location to set up for the event. Everyone was in agreement! Wholeheartedly, I recognized God had taken care of it! The scripture the Holy Spirit whispered to me was I will make your crooked places straight. I knew it was the Holy Spirit. God speaking to me letting me know He had gone before me to straighten out this potential problem for us.
CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT: TWO
Another issue popped up within days. We needed the manpower to help with set up for the larger event. I instinctively took that to God, again. The night before the event I went to the venue to set up my display. While there, I asked the staff if anyone was available to set up the other areas that needed to be set up for the event the next day. We got willing spirits who came to set up the other areas that were needed. Once again, I recognized God making our crooked places straight. It became a burden and concern of getting the people we needed to do this task.
CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT: THREE
Lastly, we had an overwhelming response of items donated to the ministry for the event. We were concerned that maybe we would not have enough items to give to the needy. We ended up having more than enough… God makes our crooked places straight! He actually multiplied what we had initially collected. People the day before and day of the event were bringing items in to donate to the needy.
It is always humbling seeing God moving and working on the Earth. It is even more exciting when we can actually see the scriptures in the Bible coming to life in our lives…Thank you, Lord! Amen. Love & Blessings!
