The Humming Bird
Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 8:00 amAs a Christian I don't believe in coincidences.
The Bible states that:
"Psalms 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way."
I was sitting outside Tuesday waiting for my hubby to take me to get the biopsy. I was praying God would give me the peace I needed to get through this. I have a hummingbird feeder several yards away from where I was sitting. Usually the routine is for them to take a drink then fly away.
But that time a female hummingbird took some sips of nectar and flew inches away from my face, and stayed there hovering in front of me. Looking straight at me. It never has happened before.
I ran in to tell my husband who was amazed with the story.
He took me to the hospital for my appointment and I was wisked away to put the lovely johnnie on and sit in a small waiting room for them to say they were ready for me.
As I sat there my eyes focused on a large picture on the wall in front of me. There was a large picture of a humming bird.
I was flooded with peace. I was no longer afraid. Here I have been praying constantly for peace and I would have it for awhile only to have the fear come flooding back. This was a battle back and forth for days.
Now when I needed it the most God provided a sign that He was with me.
I had a Christian friend from church tell me that God does not give us signs like that when everything is ok but He gives us signs like that when He knows we need them.
How wonderful is that!!
Praise God!
