While Jogging with God ... #Lesson 1

Jog ... Jog ...Jog ...

Unexpectedly a wind blows .... A bunch of leaves started falling like a 'Golden Shower' ....

"So beautiful ... God if only I could catch one!"

Without quickening or slowing my pace ... I stretched my right hand a little ... even with my palm 3/4 closed ... this leaf flew directly into the center of my palm .... snugly ...securely enclosed within my palm.

"WOW! Thank you God!"

Like the wind ... Many Opportunities come and go our way ...

When we're walking CLOSE with God:

- He knows our hearts desires (just one leaf ) even though many doors (many leafs) may seem open for us.
- All it requires is that we take that step of Faith (stretched my right hand a little).
- In response to our Faith, making no mistakes, God opens that one prefect door of opportunity for us (leaf falling directly into the center of my 3/4 closed palm).
- We may not realize that the opportunity is from God (semi closed palm) but through continued trust in him (without trying to catch another leaf) we will soon realize in amazement that the opportunity is distinctively from him! (Palm opening to reveal that one leaf with a cross symbol mark on it! Look at the picture carefully ... I was amazed!)

Luke 11:9 (NIV)
9"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
