Sometimes I Miss Opportunities Presented Before Me. Today I Caught A Glimpse Of Getting It Right.

How many times are God's subtle hints in front of you to reach out to others? I would say more often than we care to acknowledge or stop to participate in. I will be the first to admit to you all that I do not always catch the hint but when I do it is wonderful. If I could only train to perfect it more then I would be a happy camper so to speak. Sometimes I feel the nudge but maybe dismiss it because of the burdens/cares of the world that overshadow the nudge. Other times I begin to doubt that it was God nudging me and then there are the times when you just know it is God and He is tugging at your heart to help that person.
That happened to me today. I was on the phone with a ministry to order a book. The customer service representative kept speaking the wrong name of the author. The reason I knew this is because I have books by this author already and know their name. I questioned them and spoke the author's name. After two times of saying the wrong name I then caught Holy Spirit's nudge and inquired if this person was a part of the prayer team and they replied no to me. I then suggested that maybe it was not a coincidence that they kept speaking forth a person's name and maybe they needed prayer today. So, I then began to pray for the person they mentioned and at the end of the prayer they responded Amen to my Amen. I then realized that there was a person out there that truly needed prayer today and Holy Spirit used two open vessels to get the prayer job done. Isn't God grand?
In my walking in obedience today I realized how crucial it is for someone to respond to prayer needs.  What if they were in dire need today and we missed it? That would not be good would it? What if they were seeking the Lord for something serious in their very life and they had no one they could reach out to to pray for them. That is why I am most thankful that Holy Spirit knows the very person/people He can reach out to on behalf of others. Trust the nudges from God. You would want someone to be there for you in your time of need right.
