You are at a store and a stranger starts to talk to you. You are sitting at a business, someone comes in, sits down and starts a conversation with you. You feel a pulling inside you to go somewhere but you have no reason to go but you do. You feel you need to call someone. You pull up to the drive thru window and feel you need to pay for the person behind you. I could go on and on with situations and enocunters.
It's not by chance that we are somewhere at a certain time. It doesn't have anything to do with us, it has everything to do with God. He puts us in certain places, He directs our steps to be somewhere at just the right moment. He moves us to call someone who was in desperate need to talk or He puts us on their heart to call us. He moves our heart to bless someone by paying for their lunch, their meal at a drive thru, their items at a store. We suddenly feel the need to bless someone with money or other things.
It's not by chance! Little did we know that the person at the grocery store, due to the cost of living had very little money left. They had to make the decision to be a little hungry or keep a roof over their head. The person who talked to us in the store, they just needed to feel someone cared and would listen. That person or people where we paid for their meal hardly do it because they can't afford to go out. That person we blessed with money or other things had been praying for a need to be taken care of.
If we are willing to listen, if we are paying attention even just a little, God put's us in many places at just the right time. He also will put someone on our heart at just the right moment.
It may be when we are driving, we prayed for someone who was in a crash, broke down or an ambulance that passed by us with the siren on. He guides us to go inside a place, we think it's to get something we needed but it wasn't. It was because He put us there because someone needed prayer, some may never even know we pray for them but God knows.
Those are defining moments! They are what I call God led, God fed! It happens many times for those who listen for and to His voice. Are you listening?
"The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?" (Proverbs 20:24).
"Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." (Proverbs 19:21).
