Going His Way

I went for a long walk this afternoon to pray. At one junction I felt the Holy Spirit say, "go that way" so I did, into Woodside Avenue. It was a road I'd never been down before and was lined with (I think) Lime trees.

About halfway down the road something went "squelch" under my boot - I looked down and saw apples all over the path, and looked up and saw an apple tree. There are probably getting on for 100 trees in that road, and all except one were Limes.

Of course my mind immediately turned to the verse from my previous post, "as the apple tree among the trees of the forest..." - what a coincidence! I don't think so! The Bible says:

I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. (Pr 4:11)

It was a small thing, but it said something powerful to me, it said God confirms his word with signs and wonders! This was a wonder and it confirmed that I am hearing God, both about which way to go on my walk and much more importantly in my pursuit of him through his Word! It's true - our Father does guide us and lead us, he is always with us and constantly speaking to us. Thank you Lord.

I just love it when the Holy Spirit takes me on those types of walks.
Some of my best lessons in the School of the Spirit have been by 'Taking a left down that road'.
I also love how our coincidences increase when we obey the Holy Spirit. Sweet!!
Look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
Peace,
