The other day was so amazing. Vicky and I had just finished a time of prayer
in the morning when she asked me to teach the youth that afternoon. I said yes
and I prayed, "Lord help me, I haven’t taught in a while and I feel
completely inadequate". You know how the enemy works; after breakfast I
felt sick and I had a headache. It was only an hour before church when I would need
to teach. So I laid down and prayed, not having any idea yet what to teach the
youth.
The Lord in His goodness took me from Numbers to Philippians,
from there to First Corinthians and on to Second Peter. It was a sweet blessing
to feel the Holy Spirit guide me in a way I have missed. By the time church
began, I had the message and I had full confidence that the Lord had given
it to me for the youth. And let me tell
you, it was amazing! After the teaching,
the Lord had me break them up into groups to pray for each other to have the
strength and faith to grow in the qualities of someone who lives for the Lord
(2 Peter 1:5-10).
There are times in our walk that we just need a little
reminder of the power of the Holy Spirit…that miracles do happen, that we can
trust in the plan the Lord has for us and that He is faithful to give us
everything we need--in the big things and the small. How sweet it is when He blesses us with that!
