When God hits you in the head…

Show of hands (that means use the comment link below!) – how many of watch “NCIS” and/or know what I mean when I reference “Boss Gibbs” slapping his team occasionally on the back of the head for semi-bone-headed reasons…?
Welllllll, last few weeks, I’ve been dealing with some major decisions, waiting for God to light up a nearby bush, zap out some writing on the wall with His finger, or , praying for peace, discernment and wisdom… Then I picked up one of my devotional books – the kind for “busy men” which means “we keep it short since you’re a guy” – Start reading a few days worth, and SLAP… huh? was that you Father?….. read the next “day”…. SLAP SLAP… ouch! oh, was that aimed at me? I was thinking this was perfect for __(fill in name here)__ they should read this…. ok on a roll… read another “day”… SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP…. ok OUCH!! That hurts… wow, I guess this is ME in these pages…
Boils down to short snippets (for guys remember) about Joseph, Joshua, and others that were “Prepared to be God’s Answer for the Times”…
So… I’ve made one of those decisions… I had to put the book down before I got slapped again!
I think that can apply to busy mom’s as well, good stuff.
My life is being totally restored, rebuilt, reshaped to be just like Jesus and I too read things and think they are for others and then slap!! No wonder I am always wondering why people don’t see things the way I do, because Jesus meets us where WE are at and deals with the issues we need to fix in our own lives. Thank you God I totally surrender all to you.
