We are living in an age where almost everything is instant, most things are super-sized and we definitely need the wow-factor in order to get someone’s attention.

Yet, our God is a God of the big and the small moments, the big wow moments and the small precious moment.

He is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives and he moves His hand in all circumstances so that we can feel His presence and experience His favour.

I experienced a moment recently where I could not believe how perfectly God intervened on my behalf.  It was not a moment that moved mountains in the grand scheme of things but it certainly moved mountains in my life – in fact I was completely floored by His goodness, His presence and His attention to detail.

Recently, I wrote about how I had been thrown into the deep end with regards to a new project that I was to head up at work.  Inwardly, I had been feeling completely out of my depths and pushed beyond my comfort zone but on top of all of that, it felt as if ‘the new kid on the block’ was trying to push me aside and take the lead in running this product line.

This become a point of desperate prayer for me.

But the Lord kept reminding me that He holds me and every aspect of my life, securely in His hands.  He is ruler over all things.

This was the truth that I needed to hold onto in all the busy-ness of life when my husband and I could not even find the time to meet in order to discuss how we could work with this ‘new kid on the block’.

So, God became my go-to, and I continually prayed that He would give me the wisdom to resolve the situation.

And then God just totally stepped in.

The situation had reached a culmination.  We had just walked out of a product presentation with our client and although on the face of it, the meeting seemed to have gone well, I was continually confronted with the same issues with this ‘new kid on the block.’  In all aspects, he was being dominant and I continually felt that I was fighting to validate my position. I would have to muster up the courage and define clear boundaries very soon.

The next day would be the day for confrontation!  My morning prayers extensively covered the topic.  I just had to be brave and make the call – quite literally.  A daunting moment for me but I would have to take a stand if I wanted to see a change.

As my morning unfolded and I crossed off that last thing that urgently required my attention, I knew that I could delay it no more.  Well …. First I would slip off to the loo –  which would give me one final distraction before taking the plunge.

But as I was walking back over to my desk, my phone began to ring.  I could not believe it when I saw my clients name on my screen.

And that was the call that changed everything.

He wanted to tell me that he really did not feel comfortable working with ‘the new kid on the block’ and going forward, all conversations and correspondence would need to be with either myself or my husband.

In my world, this was a miracle of miracles. The timing was just impeccable. As if God had said, ‘Ok my child.  Step aside, I’ve got this one.’

Straight afterwards, I called to have my meeting with ‘the new kid on the block’.  But now I was calling from a position of strength.  My client had requested that I was to be the face of the project and that meant the whole issue had been resolved.

Thank you Lord for your faithfulness.

Thank you Lord for really making a way.

Thank you Lord for working it out better than I could have ever planned or imagined.
