SEASON 3 EPISODE 20: EVER RECEIVED A NUDGE FROM GOD?

Yes, the title says it all... Have you ever received a nudge from God? Well, I believe I have in the course of the week.

The nudge came through one of my lecturers in school whom I wrote to sometime back in respect of an application to another City firm for a training contract. Now, how the opportunity arose to apply to this City firm is another story for a more appropriate time.

Since I wrote to my lecturer for advice on this firm, I have submitted the application for a training contract and even arranged to have a tour of the firm. I have since committed the application to the LORD and ask Him to take control of it.

On Tuesday, my lecturer - out of the blue - tapped me on the shoulder and asked me how that application was coming along while I was in school computer lab writing an email. That caught me by surprise and he arranged that I see him after class on Wednesday.

During that conversation after lunch on Wednesday, he gave some thoughtful advice and told me what - I believe - the next step should be in respect of this application.

On the way back home after the conversation, I had this sense within me saying that what he said was a nudge from the LORD saying "this is the next step". I acted upon the advice and performed that next step on Thursday. The effects of that step was rather amazing for me.

I believe that through this, the LORD is showing me that He is working at it and there is no need for me to worry. Thanks be to GOD!

To close, I echo what I believe God is saying to me at the end of my last entry [see Episode 19]: "... Don't you worry now, focus on your exams in the meantime and let me work on it."

In light of what happened this week, this is my response: "Thank you LORD for showing me that you are working on it. The nudge this week has raised my hopes and allayed my fears. You are in charge and I wait upon the next nudge from you. Amen!"
