Sunday morning I was sitting in the coffee area in my church that we call Solid Grounds. I was sitting near the coffee counter when a woman walked up.
We started talking and she opened up about her life. She shared about her health struggles, struggles with depression, financial difficulties and family struggles with a child with autism. We talked for about 20 minutes with me mostly listening. I encouraged her to go to the women’s group on Tuesday morning and encouraged her to continue meeting with the woman in the church she has received counseling from.
After she left, I thought about the time Jesus sat down by a well in Samaria in John 4. A woman came to get water and Jesus asked her for a drink. She was surprised he would talk with her because he was a Jew and Jews thought of Samaritans as being unclean spiritually. Jesus spoke with the woman who had been married five times and was living with a man who wasn’t her husband. He shared with her about eternal life and God.
God meets us in everyday moments in life such as going to a well for water or connecting us with someone close to the coffee bar at a church. God is always at work everywhere we go.
Divine appointments can happen when we follow God and his leading in our lives. When we spend time with God in prayer and grow in our relationship with him, those divine appointments can be frequent occurrences and a great blessing.
When God arranges those moments for me to help, share Christ’s love, or be there for someone at a key moment, I feel close to God. Jesus talked how we can know what God is doing because of our friendship with him in John 15:
“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”
What moments in life make you feel close to God?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
