Did you know that the LORD drops a kiss on your cheek every so often? Have you ever had one?
I had two on a recent birthday.
About a year ago I was in hospital ICU. For 3 days after surgery I had been unconscious and unable to breathe on my own. I woke up with a lot of hardware and tubes down my throat and into my chest. And every hour or two the nurse would come and check the machines to see if I could breathe on my own. But no. After a day and night of this, I began to be worried that I might not ever be able to breathe normally again. I was praying in a kind of panic. Then, at a certain point in the midst of a "Help LORD", very clearly I heard Him say: "The breath of the Almighty gives you life." I knew it was from Scripture, and remembered later that it was from Job. Immediately the fear left, and I turned the corner. Two days later I was home.
On my birthday a few days ago, I woke up and lay listening to a local radio station. I had been becoming concerned about the state of my lung, with all the coughing I was doing lately. Suddenly my ear caught the announcer's voice, reading a Scripture, Yes, it was THAT one.
"The breath of the Almighty gives me life."
He was reminding me that He is still the One Who enables me to breathe and I need have no concern about it.
Later that same day, I was feeling mega tired. Needing to prepare supper, I was leaning against the fridge, asking the LORD to give me His strength. Just then the phone went, A voice I didn't recognise told me she was someone I'd met some time ago at a support group. She was calling to say Happy Birthday, Then she said "... and the LORD is giving you the strength you need to do whatever you have to do."
Wow!
Two kisses on one day.
How's that?
That's pretty amazing - is how that is. I'm glad the Lord is giving you kisses - all the more as most of us are not around to give you them.
