ALL THAT COUNTS



What a nugget my God gave me today on this journey, and if you look close enough, you will see where He has done it for you too, as He did for my daughter.
She was coming to see us, in Beaufort, from Edisto, but when she called us, she said she had taken a wrong turn onto highway 17, and was heading into Charleston! Well, this is NOT like her, and is not the sorta thing that she does, but she got ragged about it anyway.....that is, until she mentioned that she had seen a woman getting beaten up on the side of the road, by a man, so she called the police on her cell phone! Well, when she told me this, I suddenly realized, that she had NOT taken a wrong turn at all.....NO WAY! She was listening to the Holy Spirit, guiding her.......
She may havce just saved this woman's life..........I don't know.I do know, however, that God gave her the very first nugget, of her very own, and it was so exciting to see it happen.........
"Who knows but that you have come for such a time as this?", as I thought of Mordecai's words to Queen Esther........
I do believe he had her turn onto 17, "for such a time as this", and she may have just saved that lady's life.
There are no wrong turns in God's book........perhaps, ones we don't always understand, but they are always the right!
Oh,how cool to see that she listened and obeyed, even though she didn't understand..... Wouldn't it be nice to hear God say:" How cool,you are listening and obeying, even though you don't understand"!
.......But God understood, and that's all that counts!
