Your Obedience/Yielding To Holy Spirit May Be Connected To Another's Well Being. Don't Be Stubborn, Just Yield

Let me share my day with you so far. I felt led to go back and walk one more time yesterday to see the progress of the harvesting of the alfalfa. I walked three times yesterday and on the third walk I found that the wind of Holy Spirit was not speaking like He spoke the two previous walks that very day. I woke up today and prayed a bit differently than I usually pray and even prayed in a different area of the house than I normally pray my morning prayers. I felt nudged to go walk a few hours ago and while on the farm road I noticed a company truck working on the farm machine that looked like it needed tires yesterday. I struck up a brief conversation with the young gentleman and I asked a few questions about the tires that were going to be replaced on the farm equipment. I kept walking and then I felt compelled to seek further information about whether or not their company dealt with passenger cars since I have been looking for two tires, even used tires. This young man was so kind he went into his truck and gave me a company pen with the phone numbers on it to call to see if they had any decent used tires. I remember having a conversation with this young man and he showed me the tread on the tires of the farm equipment and the difference of the tread on the new tires. I was astonished at the cost of purchasing one of these tires as opposed to the tires I need on my car.
Trust me when I tell you to not complain the next time you need a full set of tires for your car/truck for it is no where near in comparison to the amount you would pay for a piece of farm equipment tires. I even asked this young man if he would feel safe in telling his mother to go to this company for a pair of good condition, used tires and he told me he would. I came home with pen in hand and called the company and first of all I complimented this young man on him being courteous and most helpful to me. My conversation with the young man was why I was calling to inquire of tire prices. The employee said he would let the owner know that he was right there.
I was going to head out to the store and I didn't and I am glad that I didn't. I heard Life Flight very close and I looked out the door and saw it was about to land right by us. I was heading out the door and spoke to a neighbor that told me there was an accident on the farm road and that a piece of farm equipment fell on someone. I just knew it was him I grabbed my phone and the pen and I headed that direction this young man needed prayer. As I walked down the road I called the co. and reminded the man that answered the phone that I just spoke with them earlier and I was the lady that complimented the young man that was their employee. I told him I understood there was an accident and I was heading that way to pray for him. He said they knew little info and if I found out any to please call them. I arrived and sure enough it was him and I struck up a conversation with two women that were with a few children. I asked the one woman if she was a Christian and she answered yes and I asked if we could pray for this young man. We gathered in a circle and prayed for him. After we prayed another man that lives in my complex said he heard the prayer. I asked him if he needed to add anything to it if I left something out and he told me it was fine. I noticed another man that had a professional camera walking back from the accident scene and I handed him the co. pen and asked him to call the employer and update them on what he knew about the young man. He did.
Life Flight took off and the fire department left and we walked down the road. I showed the two ladies and the kids where the bald eagles like to perch in a certain tree. I was able to see the piece of farm equipment turned over and it had the new tire on it that he was changing when I spoke with him. He must have been changing the other tire when it fell on him. Lord, I ask you as a mother would ask for her own child to keep this young man safe and protected and as I prayed when I prayed that the prayers will be heard because you always hear the prayers of children and there were children in our circle of prayer holding hands with us. That he will have a rapid recovery and it will be part of his testimony/story in his life. Oh Father this is someones child my tears stream down my face for a mother knows the pain they feel for one of their children when they are in pain or suffering. Lift the burden of his mother and comfort her and their family. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Be mindful of Holy Spirit nudging you for your response just may be used to help another right? As I walked back home I then called the employer again to make sure that someone did speak with the reporter and got the update on the young man and I also let him know that we did gather and pray for him. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. Do not have fear in stepping out in faith, for your today faith may be connected to another person's life. Stepping out in faith is what more people need to do. When you step out God is faithful. Go home today and hug your children and tell them how much you love them.
