I drove the school bus this morning which I love to do. About 5 minutes into the drive I heard a sniffle, followed by another, and another........... and another and so on. To my enquiry 'who has the sniffles?' I received a resounding 'NO ONE', not once but twice. I KNOW I heard it because my ears heard it, and my agitation meter went up a notch. lol. After another 7 or 8 minutes I asked again, and was told who it was. I said 'Are you ok baby girl?'... 'Yes' sniffle, sniffle, sniffle. So rather than beat round the bush I flat asked 'Do you need a tissue baby girl?' to which I got a resounding, most offended and abrupt 'I DO NOT!'. sniffle, sniffle. Then the gem, starting at the elbow, sluuuuuuuuuurp all the way to the end of the wrist, with a nice shiny trail to see why she no longer has the sniffles.
Many times those around us see or hear things in or from us that we don't always take notice of. You know when the Pastor stands up and says 'If your struggling with your thinking today and finding it hard to focus on the right, the good and the holy things raise your hand unto the Lord, love on Him and get your focus back on track', and you look around to see who has let their walk and their faith slip some. When God shows him who it is and he says again these things, still your looking. So he comes to you and says 'Do you want me to pray for you?' and your like, 'Did he just fall on his head??????' I want to remind you, God gave us a shepherd, a watchman, a person to care and lead and guide for a reason. We have Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers, we also have each other. Sometimes its so others may think, or even be aware what is going on for you in the spiritual, and he wants to keep it there and no further. Sadly many of us dont want to admit to the extent of the struggle until there is a visible streak left behind for all the world to see.
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Psalms 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: :24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting
