Luke 15:8-10 (NIV)
8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one.
Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds
it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors
together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10 In
the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of
God over one sinner who repents.”
It’s Friday the 13th…big whoop….I don’t buy into
the madness unless I watching one of the Jason Voorhees, Friday the 13th
flick. However, I do have to say that today started off sort of on a downer. I
have a bracelet that has TREMENDOUS sentimental value to me and I looked down
at my wrist to find it missing. I tore my bed apart thinking it may have
slipped off during my rather rough night of sleeping (that’s a different story.)
I checked everything that I thought
could have unhooked the clasp. I was emotionally torn about the loss but I sat
still for a minute and asked God to make me ok with the loss and to help me to
embrace the memory of the bracelet: I felt a sense of peace with the prayer. I
knew I had to check my car before I wrote it off as a complete loss. I go to my
car and reach around the passage seat where I rest my arm while driving and lo
and behold….
I’m praising God because I was immediately reminded of this
parable and I had to share that we must
leave God to do what God does best – restore!!!! Oh, we can move to make
some things happen but wouldn't you rather have God do it?
OMG!!!! T.D. Jakes!!!!!
