He Got Up and Went to Work!!!

Psalm 34:7 "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them."

On Sunday He rose and I must say He definitely is at work in my life. It's TESTIMONY TUESDAY... my time to share how God showed up in my life yesterday. Recently I cut off my relaxed hair and began embracing my beautiful natural tresses. With such a drastic change I have become obsessed with trying to take care of my natural hair which entails a lot of trial and error in regards to products and styling. Sunday I did a little impulse shopping (which I DO NOT recommend) buying a really expensive hair treatment for deep conditioning. While at work yesterday morning I felt the urge to return it and get a cheaper product that seemingly works the same. The "urge" wasn't to wait until tomorrow or when I got off work it was to go NOW and it was still fairly early in the work day. I strongly contemplated it as I would have to leave work on my lunch break to retrieve the product from home, return the product at one place, then buy the other product at another place; however, something said go...NOW. So I followed instruction. [Side note: Recently, I've been using cash for miscellaneous spending because I find that I am more reluctant to spending unnecessarily. This time, without hesitation and despite having ample enough cash, I used my debit card for my purchase.] I returned to work and proceeded with my day, then my cellphone rings. It's a number I didn't recognize so I almost ignored it and moved on, but something told me to answer. The caller was from my banking instituation informing me that there was fraud activity on my debit card, but [GOD] they were able to block the transaction and that they would cancel the card and send me a new one. I was so very relieved that they caught it but I immediately attributed the fraud protection to God. I called back to make sure that the call itself wasn't a fraud and they explained to me that because I had just used my card in Texas they knew there was no way I could have made it to Tennessee in such a short time span to use it again. Then it all made sense that "something" that had been urging me to move was SOMEONE, it was GOD!!

Lesson:
God is always always always at work in your life. Just as the scripture says above He encamps around this who fear Him. He is protecting you from dangers seen and unseen so don't ever forget that. He protects you when you can't protect yourself. One thing about God is He knows His sheep by name; therefore, when anyone tries to use my name God blocks it because He knows me! When anyone tries to steal my blessings God blocks it! When the devil is out to get me God blocks it! I can rest in peace knowing that I am fully protected with an insurance plan that has a premium that was paid in full when Jesus died for me. Jesus didn't get up in vain. He got up and went to work, for you and for ME!! He never ceases to amaze me therefore I will never cease praising Him. In this He confirmed His omnipresent and omnipotent characteristics. While He was with me here in TX He was able to protect me all the way in TN. There was no way I could (nor anyone else could) travel that kind of distance in short time span OH BUT GOD...He can do it all and He did and for that I'm thankful. Look for God in disguise in your life today and everyday I guarantee you He's working for you too!
