Today is Five Minute Friday with Lisa-Jo Baker! If you haven’t heard, Lisa-Jo’s first book, Surprised by Motherhood, comes out next Tuesday!
Here is what I love about God: He shows Himself mighty in the stillness of a moment. He turns a normal conversation amongst girlfriends into something sacred. He surprises us with an awesome agenda when He decides to transform our dinner dates into divine appointments.
When we hear the word mighty we often think big, dramatic and spectacular. And, yet, when God meets a need it’s usually done in the heart-to-heart moments of quiet voices and quivering lips. He is so faithful.
I have found that God doesn’t come in a whirlwind and speak audibly to me. He usually shows me something in His word and then confirms it through the gentle hearted voice of a friend. His ocean of grace overwhelms me when He shows Himself strong in unexpected places.
This weekend, I pray you are blessed through the soft word of a friend. May you find that God works inside all situations great and small. I pray you recognize that He cares about every need you have. May your dinner dates turn into divine appointments, and may every need be met by our mighty God.
Love,
Jennifer

Beautiful post. I have found that God speaks to me through quiet moments with Him in worship and with His Word. Other times He’ll reinforce it through someone else. Those times are sweet and I relish them. Here’s to more moments where we hear God’s voice. I know I need them.
Hopping over from FMF!
Yes, Ami! I couldn’t agree more!
I linked up right after you for Five Minute Friday. This is such a beautiful piece. God is truly mighty!
Keep shining the light of Christ!
Blessings,
Amy
Thank you, Amy!
I find the quiet voice of the Lord is so much more profound, at least in this season of my life. Praying you have a blessed weekend.
Thank you, Barbie! Have a wonderful weekend!
Jennifer, this is so beautiful! I love this so very much – the richness and grace of it… oh and the truth – the truth of it too! Love your gentle spirit and loving heart!
Thank you so much, Karrilee! Your words are such a blessing, friend!
Thank you for this post. I many times find hope and love and confirmation put in my heart by the kind words of a heart friend.
Thank you for reading, Somer. I hope you have an amazing weekend full of God ordained surprises!
