I apologize ahead of time as today will be more of a testimony than a devotion. Both achieve the same thing, and that is God cares about every aspect of our lives.
I am ashamed to admit that I don’t care for most Christian music. It’s not the content; it’s just a matter of not caring for the style, I suppose. However, many years ago, I used to listen to the Hillsong Worship group along with the Women of Faith’s Worship team. A few days ago, I was thinking about Hillsong; I have a cassette, do not own a cassette player…hmmm! I move on!
Yesterday I was visiting with a girlfriend who is also a sister in Christ, a wife, and a mom. We share. I spent the day before yesterday tearing up dying foliage from the garden, and yesterday was trash up the destruction from the previous day. Not long before heading out to my piles of debris, I receive a text from said girlfriend with a suggestion or two of some of her favorite podcast speakers, and I might enjoy Hillsong Worship.
What!!! Podcast! Hillsong! Pandora! My oldest son is rolling his eyes and slightly shaking his head…Mom!!! I know, I know, I found every other artist and genre.’ I grabbed my phone; sure enough, there they were, earbuds in, I was out the door.
It was a beautiful fall day and perfect for being outside. I was sweeping the patio as the music-filled my soul. I felt a slight nudge to turn around, and as I did, I saw the sun glowing against the pale blue sky and laughed out loud. The Lord reminded me that I had sunshine on my shoulder.
If he cares about something as small as reconnecting me to a music group, that one day crossed my mind. What does that say about how much he cares about the big woes or dreams. It says everything.
Deuteronomy 31:18 ESV “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
Thank you for sharing my joyful experience. I pray for you a blessed day, and a whisper answered. Thank you for joining me. 🥰
