God Is a Funny Dude!

"For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways." - Psalm 91:11

I left work today laughing to myself when I realized how God helped me out.

This morning everyone in my office ordered breakfast. I asked for a bagel with cream cheese and since I'm not a coffee drinker, I ordered the bagel with my usual hot chocolate. When the delivery came, every order was correct, except that I was missing my hot chocolate. I shrugged it off and ate my bagel anyway because I wasn't going to complain about a small hot chocolate, although I was pretty upset.

Fast forward to the end of the day when I was leaving work and thinking about what dessert to have with dinner. I thought about chocolate and what I could have in its place since it's what I have given up for Lent… and that's when it hit me - I ordered hot chocolate out of habit, forgetting I wasn't supposed to have any chocolate, but God took care of me and out of all the other orders that were delivered, my hot chocolate was the only thing missing. Some might call this a coincidence, but I know it's not. This is how God works in even the smallest things to help us along. When I realized what He did today, I started laughing. I thanked Him and said, "good one!" He's a really funny guy… ask Him to show you that side of Him.

Today's Prayer:
Lord, thank You so much for looking out for me in small ways. It's in these details that You show me how much attention You give me. Open my eyes so that I can see Your work in all areas of my life. In Your Name we pray, amen.
