This weekend I found a wrapped Christmas present (from at least two Christmas' ago) in my car under the passenger seat that had been left from the previous owner. Since the previous owner was my mom, and I recognized the paper, I tore it open as soon as I got inside. The gift is a book called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Frequently I have to chuckle at how God works through the little things. If it was anyone but my mom I am sure the person who would have "lost" the book would have been upset at the time and wondered where it went. (I know my mom bought extras in case extra people came that night.) It was no accident that the book fell under the seat and no one found it for years until I did this weekend. Just when I needed it. I found the entry for today rather fitting and thought I would share.
"APPROACH EACH NEW DAY with desire to find Me. Before you get out of bed, I have already been working to prepare the path that will get you through this day. There are hidden treasures strategically placed along the way. Some of the treasures are trials, designed to shake you free from earth-shackles. Others are blessings that reveal My Presence: sunshine, flowers, birds, friendships, answered prayer. I have not abandoned this sin-wracked world; I am still richly present in it.
Search for deep treasure as you go through this day. You will find Me along the way.
Colossians 2:2-3; Isaiah 33:6 "
