Promptings

Mark Batterson post:  Woolly Socks

Is anything more exciting or more scary than the prompting of the Holy Spirit?

Got to tour the Birmingham Dream Center this afternoon and met one of the staff. Amazing lady! She shared one of the most amazing Holy Spirit prompting stories I've ever heard. One morning she felt like the Holy Spirit was prompting her to take her woolly socks to work. She thought she was losing her mind. She got to the Dream Center and one of the prostitutes that they minister to literally collapsed inside the door. She held her, fed her, and then asked her: if you could have anything what would it be? She said her feet were freezing and all she wanted was a pair of woolly socks. Not only did she give her the woolly socks. They matched her outfit.

Don't tell me God doesn't care about the little things! A sparrow doesn't fall without Him seeing it. Nothing is too big for God. Nothing is too small for God. Praise God.

If you want to live a more adventurous life, obey those Holy Spirit prompting. You'll feel crazy at times. You'll feel foolish at times. But there is nothing like it.
