"Walking On The Hand of God"
I got the pleasure to read a one and only book that was written by Leif Enger.
It is titled, Peace Like A River.
My Aunt Cindi Lankford gave it to me.
I still have it. It is very precious to me.
I've read it a few times and I plan to read it again soon. It's that wonderful!
It is deep, insightful, thought provoking, and very true in the realities of God's care.
This not an advice or self help book.
It is a Christian Novel.
I am going to write a piece from this book for you,
I think often on this part.
It is pages 16-18.
I am summarizing in my own words...
The little boy, has to get up in the night to go to the outhouse. It is very cold outside...
When the boy goes outside, he hears a sound around the corner of the house and feels the need to stand very still. He peeks and sees his dad...
He is standing in the back of a pickup truck, praying.
His dad is a praying man. When he prays, his eyes are closed tight and he also paces. He keeps his hands clenched the whole time too.
He watches his dad for awhile. He sees him walking the length of the flatbed, back and forth. Back and forth over and over.
He sees how his eyes are shut tight, while he is praying.
He wonders how his dad hasn't walked off the edge and fallen right to the ground.
Then it happened.
He saw his dad walk right off the edge of the flatbed of the truck.
The boy wanted to rush out and scream a warning. But, something in him, kept him still.
He watched in amazement...His dad did not fall.
He went right on pacing and praying.
Walking on air...a yard from the ground.
Going out about 30 feet and back.
And his dad's eyes were still shut tight and his prayers like the breath of life.
To the boy, it looked like his dad never even knew what was happening.
But the boy understood.
He understood that his dad was,
Walking On The Hand Of God.

Beloveds, this novel is very wonderful.
Full of supernatural realities of our Abba.
Maybe one day you can order it and read it.
It's an incredible story.
I think of how many times we have,
"Walked on the Hand of God,"
in our life time without even realizing it?
There is so much in His Hand for us.
Safety, mercy, kindness, provisions, love, relationship....
Truly our time with Abba is priceless and protected.
It's a true reality for us.
I actually have a true inspirational testimony of Him, protecting my time with Him....
It really happened.
He has done amazing things in my life and this is just one!
I guess you can say, I kindof was..."Walking on His Hand."
You tell me what you think after you read this...
I had guests coming over. I was busy cleaning, making things nice for them for when they arrived, and I was preparing a very nice meal for them this day.
As I worked with joy and great expectations...
I casually prayed for Abba to bless our time together with joy and of making good memories.
Then happily kept busy finishing up on things.
As I finished...I realized, I had not spent any time with Abba! I had not had our Precious Alone time together yet this day!
And my guests were due any minute!
I immediately said outloud to Abba...
"I did all these things, but forgot time with You."
"I am going to take that time right now. If You will Abba, please protect our time together. I so want this time with You before they get here."
Quickly, I got on my knees and had our time together.
As soon as I got up, there was a knock on the door!
No kidding. As soon as I finished!
It was my guests!
They opened the door wide, with jog and bounced right on in.
Announcing to me,
"You will never believe what just happened!"
"I was at your exit at about 1 pm. Right at your exit.
And all at once traffic came to a halt. It was stopped. No one was moving.
I sat there for 2 hours. Nothing was moving. Not even on your exit that I was at.
So I told God, "Well God, if you want me to sit here,
I will just be content and listen to this Christian music station on the radio until I can go again."
I was astonished at what she just told me.
2 hours had went by. I had 2 hours with Abba. I had no clue. It felt like only a few minutes to me.
He protected my time with Him.
He made traffic stopp at my exit.
He made her content and at peace during that time.
Beloveds, He protected Our time together.
God values our time with Him.
He wants a personal love relationship.
He wants us to spend time with Him and talk to Him. Be with Him.
He will work All things out. Every detail.
And You Too Will, "Walk On The Hand of God."
I pray this has blessed you and encouraged you.
Love always, Kim
Dear God, I don't know what You are doing today,
but I want to be apart of it.
And I want You to be apart of my day too.
Amen
