Divine Appointment: Two Bibles-Two Ladies

Are You Looking for Them?

Do you believe in "Divine Appointments"?  I do!  Jesus made clear divine appointments occur as a result of God's sovereign control when He said:  "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny ? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father" (Matthew 10:29).

I took two bibles with me today to my "fishing hole."  After sharing the gospel with a group, two ladies came up to me who were not part of the group but overheard.  They both asked if they could have one of the bibles I was carrying.

Two bibles.  Two ladies.  Wow.  Cool!  Just as two sparrows can't fall to the ground without the Lord's knowledge or permission, He knows when I need to take two bibles for two ladies who are ready for the life-giving, life-changing Truth of the Living Word of God.

We are born again and saved by the Word of God.  "For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.  For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever."  And this is the word that was preached to you." (1 Peter 1:23-25).

And we grow to maturity and fruitfulness for the Lord through staying immersed in the Word of God.  "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation . . . ." "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever!"  (1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18).

Do you hunger and thirst after the Word of God?  (Matt. 5:6).  Do you take advantage of Divine Appointments?  Look for them.  Be ready for them!  That's the exciting, "abundant" life!  (John 10:10).
