Some seem to think that we have only the Bible to guide us. I love God's word and I encourage everyone to study it diligently. However, there is the moment by moment leading of the Holy Spirit also. If we are to be effective in God's Kingdom, we need that guidance as well as the Word.
An example. I ride a bicycle a few times a week. I have to stop for a rest as I'm not that fit. I stopped at a bench where another man was resting also. We got talking and I told him that I was a Christian. He responded that he was also. My wife and I met him for lunch yesterday. It was amazing. He knew many of the people that I knew from the late 1970's. He was saved at the church where I was going. Someone I knew had invited him to the church. He knew the people I shared a house with.
We were able to have good fellowship, mostly because he is really born again. It helps a lot that we have so much in common. I don't know why God brought us together. Perhaps it is just so we can pray for him. He's 68, does not look it, and is seeking a wife. We have prayed that he meet the right woman who will be a blessing and one that he can be a blessing to also.
This kind of "God-incidence" is a normal part of life for us. Some deny that God moves in this way. I can assure you that He does. God is not far off and remote. He is living, loving, caring and leading continually. If we seek Him, He will lead us.
