November's Bein' Thankful Series -
When God Calls You, Will You Step Out?
I was eatin’ at the Frog Holler Café
for lunch last week. A man came in ‘n
ordered a plate to go. After the
waitress, Mary Alice, gave him his meal, she told him how much it cost. The man said, “I don’t have enough money. Can
I come back ‘n pay you later?” She let him take it.
When I got up to pay for my lunch, I had this
urgent feelin’ to pay for the man’s sandwich too. Mary Alice thanked me ‘n said, “Jesus sent
you here today.” I asked her what she
meant. Mary Alice said, “I felt sorry
for the man ‘n wanted to help him. The
café owner doesn’t like for us to do ‘hand outs’. I’d have to pay for his meal. I’ve got a sick little girl ‘n can’t afford
to do it. As I let the man have his
plate, I asked Jesus to send somebody to help me.”
A man got a good hot meal. Mary Alice did a good deed ‘n didn’t have to
pay for it. I left feelin’ blessed ‘n
humble.
God uses us every day do His will to
help others! When you feel an urgent need to do or say somethin’, it may be
God callin’ you to step out!
So thankful that God guides our steps!
Psalm
37: 23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights
in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord
upholds him with His hand.
Things To Think 'bout:
1. Do you heed God's callin's?
2. Ask God to prompt you to help others.
Lord, thank you for your daily guidance in our steps. Give us the wisdom to make the right decisions. In the name of Jesus, amen.
