Yesterday, I quickly made a decision to "clean house" by getting rid of things that would create any sad or negative emotions toward my ex-husband. I found myself boxing things up at 2:00AM, while begging for God's strength. I asked God to keep me from making that spiteful phone call to explain the BIG WHY, as I have a tendency to get angry and sin, at the same time. I totally knew that applying "a soft answer that turneth away wrath" was not possible at the moment. Therefore, I decided to keep a "meek and quiet spirit". Scripture says:
"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:" Ephesians 4:26 KJV
I resorted to return all communication devices first thing in the morning. I was fighting with my emotions just before taking that trip to the post office; however, I remained firm with my decision. As I opened my drawer to get my car keys, I saw an email that I had printed out. A week ago, I had asked a friend to pray for me, as I was getting ready to face this week's "battle". Apparently, I had printed out the email that contained a prayer and left it in my drawer. What a way for God to speak to me, when I chose not to share this decision with anyone! I truly believe that God led me to unconsciously print and tuck away that prayer so that it would affect me at the right place at the right time! God's timing is always so perfect!
"A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [is it]!" Proverbs 15:23 KJV
I successfully mailed the box with no reservations. God knows I cannot do this alone. I can see His hand in this endeavor as I saw Him use but an old email to speak to me and move me. God is great!!!
