Coincindences

I am always amazed at the “coincidences” that God brings into my life!  Some years ago I read The Red Sea Rules written by Robert Morgan and was most blessed and helped at a time during some crucial decisions.  In December Erwin Lutzer (Moody) “happened” to send me a suggested Bible reading plan for 2015 covering each book of the Bible.  The readings are more by topic and do not include chapters not pertaining to the topic.  Following that plan the past couple of weeks, I have been reading Exodus 1-14 which just “happened” to be about the plagues and the Egyptians pursuing the Israelites into the Red Sea.  Last week we just “happened” to have author Robert Morgan in our village for a Bible Conference.  It was the first time I had seen him and I was challenged by his seven sessions and enjoyed a bit of one on one time with him.  I have attended conferences with authors before, and occasionally find it a disappointment.  NOT Rob Morgan!

As I read Exodus 14 this morning about the Red Sea adventure, I could see that many ways that I have been impacted by that little book and those 10 Red Sea Rules.  The main ones that strongly spoke to me were Rule #1 “Realize that God means for you to be where you are.”  Rule #4 “Pray.”  Rule #8 “Trust God…”  Rule #10 “Don’t forget to praise Him.”  If you want to know more, let me know or better yet, pick up a copy for yourself.

Wednesday I will be flying to the Bahamian Island of Eleuthera with Lisa to spend a few days with Carol’s sister Ruth, and her husband, Paul.  I am taking my copy of the book to read again on the plane and will have plenty of time there to reflect upon God’s blessings in my life, and praising Him.  Something that I too often forget when confronted with “the cares of the day.”

Have a Blessed week!
