Prodding

Do you have trouble keeping up with people?  I don't mean in a race, as such, but life in general...God has blessed my life with many wonderful people, so much more than I deserve.  But my discipline of keeping all these people part of my current life seems so out of reach.  However, grand memories often fill my mind of these friends.  The laughter, sorrows, prayers and ideas we shared are so...right there.  These memories happen to me over and over.  I think I have been misreading these reoccurring experiences.

I have wonderful friends from long ago that I had corresponded with every five years or so (see what I mean?).  But very often memories of them would come over me.  A smile would come to me as I would remember this beautiful and contagious couple.  Unfortunately, fabulous memories were as far as my mind went.

Not long ago my memories were rocked with the disclosure of a marriage in distress.  What had I done?! I had misread Gods prodding for a call to arms as just a fabulous memory.  How else would the Holy Spirit coax me to pray?  Most all memories of my friends are wonderful.  It's what He had to use to move me to pray for them

Satan has already been defeated and he knows it.  But in the time he has left he will confuse and mislead us as often as he can.  We cannot miss the moving of the Holy Spirit to uphold our friends.  People are hurting.  Often they do not know why and more often don't want others to know what.

                   No matter how God brings people into your memory, pray for them.

                                      We must not misread the prodding of our God!
