Seasons of Life!!: Jehovah-Jireh: Jehovah My Provider

I was very much happy and delighted on that day when God gave me good sleep while I was travelling back home after a very hectic day... Thats how once again I am convicted of LORD being called as "Jehovah-Jireh: Jehovah My Provider ". Conviction is something which you are convinced of and it is not the same as having an opinion. Simple difference is, a 'conviction' holds you but you hold an 'opinion'...!! Clear isnt it??

Yes, Iam very much convicted that my LORD is my provider.

There are many small things in life and many circumstances,... and situations where God cares for us and we as normal human beings cannot realise or notice it with our natural being.

God opens our eyes... the spiritual eyes to see his work in our lives and to glorify Him alone!!

We should be willing and able to do that.... We should be totally surrendered to Him to let Him open our eyes and ears....

Thats the reason Jesus keeps saying while He teaches using parables as "Let those with ears hear, and those with eyes see"

Thats the reason we sing... "Open the eyes of my heart LORD, I want to see you....!"

I would like to narate how He really worked out to make me sleep...

That eveing I was very tired...and usually the shuttle in which I travel is the small one & the seats are at low level..due to which I wont be able to rest my head and sleep. On my way to catch the shuttle, I was thinking to go by another shuttle which is the big one and the seats are higher but this shuttle does not stop near my house and I would have to walk a little to reach home. But I was very tired and I dint wanted to walk... So thought of going in my regular shuttle and try to rest on the seat which is in front of me...But I was little bit disappointed and I wished to get the window seat so that I can make myself comfortable... As I got into the shuttle, I was disheartend because all the window-seats were filled... and I get to sit on the seat which was exactly in front of the shuttle door. As soon as the security blowed the wistle all the Shuttles started, but to my surprise, our shuttle brokedown even before it could start...I was praying "Lord, not today...please! I want to go home early and sleep" but the shuttle dint start... and my faith flitched....I prayed again..."Jesus! please start the Shuttle.."... Even now the shuttle dint start... this time I closed my eyes and prayed.."Lord, you either start the shuttle or give me strength or petience to sit untill next shuttle comes...!" As I opened my eyes...the transport incharge came in and said... "another shuttle is coming in 5min". Then I thought..."ok Lord, your way be done...!" and I was hoping in my heart for a big shuttle where I can sleep... That person asked us to get down and wait for another shuttle... as I was sitting near the door, I was the first one to get down... and I saw another small shuttle coming to pick us... I thought... "again the small one..!" But I was happy that I was the first one to board the shutlle... as soon as I got in, I noticed that the seats were higher and were comfortable, and I could get the window seat...!!! Praise God..! I closed my eyes this time again... & gave Thanks to Jesus for the shuttle... I know God will give me rest admist of all my foolish desires and restlessness :)

Thanks to God, I slept in the shuttle... & He gave me good sleep..! & He even woke me up when I crossed my busstop. Though I have missed my stop, I woke up at next stop & I took auto. Because I was not willing to walk, He provided me a situation where I would take an auto to reach home...!!
