Be On The Lookout For God's Guidance!

My spiritual director has reminded me a number of times to watch out for nudges from God. She says that many times these feelings of being nudged to do a certain thing - call a certain person, visit a friend or shut-in, email encouragement to someone, etc., may very well be the direction God is wanting me to receive. I think that today's devotional is telling us the same thing when it says "be on the lookout for all that I am doing."

The scripture passages are both such wonderful reassurances that God does hold us by the hand and is a shield for us throughout life. I have previously referred to the words of the beautiful Christian song, "I'll Never Let God of Your Hand," and I am doing so again today. These words have encouraged me and many others during both challenging and good times - and I pray that they will do the same for you.

A few weeks ago, Sarah Young's devotional had a suggestion to repeat the words, "I trust you Jesus," many times a day.  Have any of you been able to do that? Do you have any stories to share about the result of that commitment and trust?
