“Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:6 (NLT)
It was Sunday morning and we were having coffee and a bagel at the local coffee shop before we went to church. A young woman walked into the coffee shop, wheeling her baby in a stroller. We greeted each other and she asked, “What time is it?” “Eight thirty,” I replied. “I missed the bus, I will have to wait until the next one,” she said. “Where are you going?” I asked. “To church,” she answered. When I asked her which church she attended, she told me she went to the Baptist church, about five minutes past our church. So we offered to drive her.
We found out he name was DaCarla and she was a recovering alcoholic. She had just started going to church and was a new Christian. At that time her fiance was still in the recovery center. That was several months ago and we have been taking her and her baby, Zoe, to church on Sunday mornings since then, but now we pick her up at her home. Her boyfriend, Zac, is out of the recovery center now and has been going to church with DaCarla. They are both very enthusiastic and excited about the Lord.
What started as a simple “Good morning”, God turned into a tremendous blessing for us and a ride to their church for them. You never know how God will direct your paths when you ask Him to each morning.
Suggestion: Before you get out of bed each morning, ask God to direct your paths that day. You will be surprised where He will take you.
Father God, thank you for directing our paths. You love and care and help and bless all Your children. We are so grateful. Amen
