Amazing & Wonderful is my God!
For those in and around Chicago land this weekend you know that we saw some snow fall. Snow falling by itself is a beautiful thing. It is clean and damp and will on it's own clean off your windshield. Through in some street dirt and other things from the cars on the road and your window can get pretty dirty. Imagine that dirty window for a moment and then reaching for the windshield wiper button to dispense the windshield wiper cleaning fluid. Now let's leave the world of make believe for a moment and that is where you will find me Sunday morning. I was traveling down the road pressing the windshield cleaner button and nothing came out. Not even a bubble from where the cleaning solution had once lived. I immediately became nervous because it was becoming increasingly more difficult to see out the windshield. Just then I saw the sign for a gas station! I pulled in and was thanking God for this oasis and thinking I would soon have a clean windshield again. As I exited my car the empty shelves of windshield wiper cleaner stared at me head on! I wasn't worried because I hadn't yet checked the inside of the station. I went inside and more empty shelves where windshield wiper cleaner should be looked back at me. The sinking feeling in my stomach was back. I went up to the cashier and asked if they had any more windshield wiper fluid left. He looked back and said I think there is some at the end of this isle. I went back and found one remaining bottle of windshield wiper fluid. A peace that I couldn't understand began to settle over me and while I didn't hear the audible voice of God I know doubt felt his peace and began to sense his telling me, "Larry, I know the future right now seems a little unclear but trust me. I can provide windshield wiper fluid when there doesn't appear to be any so imagine what I can do with the other issues in your life." God knew exactly what I needed, not only did I need the windshield wiper fluid when I began driving again but I needed to know that I was still being taken care of. This is what makes my relationship to Jesus so much different than any other religion I have read about. I know for sure that my God and Father knows my name and my every need. I just need to be willing to call out and wait on him for He has my very best interest in mind!
I hope this entry is an encouragement to you along your journey. You to can have this peace when you find yourself in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
