(taken from My notes in FB)
Someone once told me - regardless if we have nothing to pray for, our constant prayer for every morning should be for God to give us Divine Appointments in which we can respond to them and therefore glorify His name.
I stoopidly have been praying for this almost every morning. And you know what?
He answers! Every single time.
Actually, He has been answering my prayers for a long time now. Sometimes it takes minutes, days or even months. Sometimes I forget all about it, and then like a tonne of bricks, I magically uncover the answers I have been praying for. I would like to think He finally felt it was time for me to receive the answers I have been seeking. I also like to think that the reason I have suddenly become so consciously aware of His presence and Him responding to me is because I finally learnt the fine art of shutting up and seeking out His voice in the cacophony of my life.
And when I 'hear' His voice, I am nothing less than humbled and amazed that despite all my imperfections, He finds it important to still respond to me - regardless how stoopid some of my questions and issues are.
But maybe because it is for this reason alone, I have moved from cursing the storms in my life to appreciating them because I believe it is for a reason. Right down to the thunders and lightnings. Maybe some of the storms I had to brave through (and will in the future) are part the Divine Appointments I ask for. So, how then can I blame God for a little rain?
And besides if it wasn't for the storms, I would never have discovered how strong He has made me to be and thus be able to glorify Him...
So, my point is this:
