Something He doesn't want me to forget...

On Monday I was driving to my physical therapy appointment, and I turned the radio off and just started talking with God. I thanked him for all the things happening in my life. And asked him for strength with all the things I was have problems with. Then all of a sudden a verse popped in my head. And it was clear as day, I have never had that happen to me and it be that clear. 

The verse was Philippians 1:9

⁹ And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, ¹⁰ so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, ¹¹ filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

 I have been praying wisdom to understand his word, and to be able to speak to others about Christ. So I was just amazed at God, at the moment I read these verses. 
I just had to tell my husband as soon as I came back home. I was just so excited that God had spoken to me so clearly. Honestly I have not had that happen like that before. I have always believed it could happen, but I am now in a place in my life where I long to be closer to Him. I want to know Him more each day. 
Then later that day I was on the internet, and I saw 2 more references to Philippians. After seeing that I decided that He wanted me to read this book. 


I know I wrote in the last blog post that I am currently reading 2 books, and waiting to read another. (This is no excuse by the way, but) This was what I tried to use as an excuse to hold off on reading Philippians. 
But then yesterday afternoon another mention to Philippians online. And then today I saw a video from Mark Brown titled "The Secret to Overcoming Pain"
(here's the link: http://youtu.be/epBPPZgygQM)
He talks about Philippians 4:12-13, which is different, because I always hear people quote verse 13 but not verse 12. 

¹² I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ¹³ I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

 So now I think He is not going to let this go until I read it lol :) Isn't Our Heavenly Daddy awesome?! :) Sometimes we just need a few reminders to get going. And we have a Loving Father who will do just that. 


Have a Blessed Day!
