A Clear Path

And Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee."
The Theoretical:
Planning and making firm commitments including paying for accommodations, making reservations, providing down payments and security deposits, and the logistics of timing, variables, and unknowns make the "prophetic" act of planning difficult at times.
 
One thing that never ceases to amaze me is no matter what, ALL THING work for the good of those who Love God and are called according to His purpose.  Inconveniences, apparent mistakes or errors often benefit with some consolation and free gift. 
The Real Life Example:
As I heard of the news of one of my Spiritual Fathers and Dear Pastor shared that he is being consecrated as "Bishop". In my heart, I've known for years that the Lord had already anointed him and ordained him as he continues faithfully in the Lord's work.  The service is in Memphis, TN.  And for weeks, I could not find an affordable flight to go. As time passed, funds dwindled in my account where I saw that from a pure numbers perspective, I would not be able to go, and I resolved in my heart to the Lord, "maybe it's not His will for me to be in person at the service".
 
My boss at work gave me the approval to travel and be out of the office the Friday and Monday of that weekend.  My niece came to live with me the week before, so I had a trusted family member to care for my son. All of the pieces of the puzzle appeared to be in place pointing to go, but my bank account was saying "no".  Additionally, my timesheet is due on Monday's or my paycheck is delayed a week, and my boss was out this week, so my next paycheck will be late, so I thought...
 
But GOD, today, moved the financial mountain. My firm not only processed my timesheet and will pay me this week (prior to me traveling), but will also ADVANCE me next weeks pay, since the payroll department will be on vacation.  I was able to secure a ticket for 1/3 of the price on Priceline.com and a rental car for $17 per day on Travelocity.com. 
 
Encouragement:
Trust God & Don't Doubt.  Believe Him.  Wait on Him.  Do all that is in your heart to do under subjection to His will.  I am rejoicing and encouraging you to continue to seek the Lord, His ways, His will, His timing...He will make a way, a clear path, and move exceeding your expectations in both the big and small ways, tangible and intangible. 
 
Thank You, Jesus.
 
Prayer:
Lord, I thank You, for moving my financial mountain out of my way today.  I know that NOTHING is too difficult for Thee.  You are the GOD that forgives sins in Heaven.  What is it to bless your children and make a way at the cost of a few hundred dollars.  Father, I pray in the Name of Jesus, that You would manifest yourself to Your people, encouraging their hearts and moving mountains, making ways, causing faith to arise and that You would bless Your people in a way that exceeds their expectations, more abundant than they could think or ask.  I pray for healing, deliverance, restoration and strength to do Your will and continue on the path of righteousness.  I give You all the praise, honor and glory due Your name.  We declare Your goodness, Your holiness and Your mighty works among the Earth, Your people, and in the heavenly realms, beyond what we can comprehend.  With our mouths and our hearts, we give you Thanks!!!
 
We Love You, LORD.  In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
