Recognize the "God moments" and savor them.

So much of life is filled with the mundane tasks that we must do to be successful, productive and relevant individuals but I think that far too often we are so wrapped up in the "to-do" list that we miss our "God moments" that are sprinkled here and there along the way. This thought comes to me today as I had the amazing opportunity to have breakfast with not, one, or two or even three but FOUR Pastors. I was just sitting at this table listening to them speak, all very different, from different walks of life, different testimonies, different season of life, different personalities, strengths / weaknesses and was just in awe of my God. I kept wanting to pinch myself and was looking at another person at the breakfast table and was wondering to myself if he recognized the feast God had set before us, and I wasn't talking about the bacon & eggs! (Actually it would have been fresh fruit and egg whites as I am truly trying desperately to have some discipline in my eating habits.. but I digress...). This amazing gathering happened after our weekly 6am corporate prayer meeting and I was so grateful for that because perhaps I would have missed the significance of the moment had I not been so plugged into His Spirit. I may have felt inadequate, out of place, like an intruder or have reasoned my way right out of partaking of what God had prepared for me today. I can often talk myself right out of blessing when my eyes are fixed on me (and all my mess) and not Him. I was sharing my joy on Facebook regarding the breakfast and began a short conversation with a friend about it and during that exchange I said "I recognized the God moment and savored it". As soon as I hit "enter" to post it my Spirit leaped within me and began to bring teaching and revelation and I realized that I was prophesying to MYSELF! (More on that later) LOL! As I sat among those mighty men of God the Lord was confirming, teaching, revealing, challenging, exposing, equipping and encouraging me. I am so glad He gave me eyes to SEE the gift, the richness of wisdom that He himself had seated me among. So grateful that He prompted me to linger, to soak in all the wisdom, to witness the mentoring of a Father pouring into his spiritual sons, watching the sons encourage, affirm and receive the gift in/ of one another, to witness a glimpse of His Kingdom at work in the middle of a little country breakfast cafe. The atmosphere was thick with His Spirit and I was just filled with gratefulness to be at the table... like a fly on the wall of Kings... privy to wisdom and experience far beyond my present position or condition.

So I leave you with this thought... pray and watch, and watch and pray.... Keep your eyes open and your spirit connected to His so you don't miss those "God moments" He has prepared for you that will most likely be sprinkled in the middle of the mundane, every day activities like breakfast! Now off I go to search out the scriptures on those who did and didnt recognize the God moments!! I'll share when I can.
