Yesterday started out with lots of things scheduled. Whenever I am unsure of how to fit it all in myself I pray for God's guidance. It reminds me of the verse in I Thessalonians 5:16 that says "Pray without ceasing."

First I was going to get the oil changed. I prayed for perfect timing in going there so that I could get to my next thing scheduled on time. As I walk into the auto place the man said he was going to start another vehicle but because of the perfect timing he would do mine first. While there I remembered I had trouble getting up an icy hill and asked them to check the tires. As it ends up my tires are dangerously bad and they need to be replaced as soon as possible. I thank the Lord but for that attempt to get up the hill I would not have had them check the tires. I was able to leave just a little earlier than I needed to.

Next the Lord put someone on my mind for prayer that day. As I was driving to my next thing scheduled I saw this very person walking carrying a heavy load. I stopped to pick her up. She was so out of breath and needing a lift. In talking with her I found out her needs and was able to pray with her about those things before I continued on my way. One of the things she needed I had and was able to give her. Praise God! It reminds me of the verse in Matthew 25:37-40 "Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?.......Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Now I was going to pick up an older lady who wanted a ride. I was concerned for her safety getting in and out of the car. God was good to protect her during our time doing what she needed to do.

Off to work I went. I had a discouraging time the day before and today God blessed me with those who were a bright spot in my life on the job.

Then I drove to church. We are having teaching on how to share Christ with others. Questions and concerns I had were answered during that teaching time. After this I drove home to find a message on my answering machine that a person I was very concerned for had canceled our time to get together and talk about the Lord. This was not the end. During the night I could not get her off my mind and I prayed I could still talk to her. She wanted me to call her, which I did the next morning since it was late. As it ended up things were different and she was able to get together after all.

Praise the Lord for all the times I feel unsure and insecure that He is a solid rock. It reminds me of the verse Psalms 61:2 which says "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
