I was riding down the road and heard my FAVORITE radio station mention they were having a live remote at Chiefs to celebrate the station's birthday. I listen to talk radio every day and really love the Russ and Lisa show each morning. I feel like I know these people because I've listened for so long - it was good to finally shake their hands and meet them face to face. I even got a free t-shirt that I'll proudly wear to show my support of the station!
That's the REASON I went there - but GOD had another reason... I ran into a man named Hank - I've met him at a Bible study I've taught a few times in the past - He invited me to sit down and poured out his heart to me - His wife wants a divorce and he's devastated - I was able to pray with him, love on him, give him Biblical advice, recommend a good book, and give him info on the Word of God Counseling Center. When I had to leave I told Hank that HE was the reason I was here today - God KNEW we would have this encounter and I felt so honored to be used by God to help Hank in his place of great need.
This reminded me to always keep my "antenna" up - looking for "God moments" wherever I am - whatever situation I see myself in - maybe there are a LOT MORE GOD REASONS than my reasons to do and be where I am...
Good word Steve! Thanks for being available. It seems that God is sending you on missions like crazy in this season. Thanks for being obedient and reminding us to do the same.
