I intend
to make this post a short read as I just would love to share an experience I
had a couple of weeks ago with you but I write as I am inspired by God, and so it
might just extend a little if the Lord wants it so.
On Father’s
Day of this year, I woke up in the morning and realized my husband was already
out of bed. I walked to the sitting room to look for him and found him there. I
attempted to give him a hug and greet him good morning and he playfully pushed
me away saying I didn’t wish him happy Father’s Day and that the children also didn’t
greet him happy Father’s Day even though the children were still in bed.
In
all honesty I didn’t realize it was Father’s Day until he made the accusation.
I felt really bad and tried to make amends but I wasn't making any headway. I
wondered how I didn’t remember that it was Father’s Day and what I could do
immediately to make up for the mistake. I scrambled my head to think of what I
could do to make the morning a special one. If my husband had complained then
it meant Father’s Day meant something to him and he wants it acknowledged.
I
went into my closet to think hard but nothing came to mind. I couldn’t afford
to buy him a gift because I was broke. But then I did what I normally would do
in crisis mode and in fact all the time in my life. I quickly prayed. I ran to God
for ideas on what I could do in the light that I couldn’t get a befitting gift
and the need to redeem the situation and make my husband feel special so he doesn’t
carry on the thought that we take him for granted in his home.
Guess
what the Lord told me to do? He told me to write a special message with my
husband’s pictures and put it on my WhatsApp status. In my wildest dream, I couldn’t
have imagined doing that. I am too busy for social media, and I only see it as
a tool for showcasing my business and most importantly reaching people with "The Marriage Blog Today".
Well
I was quick to run to do what God had put in my mind and I wrote a heartfelt
message for my husband put it as my WhatsApp status and put so many pictures
of him on my status and even got our children to do the same. I made them pen a
message as they felt it in their heart to their father and put on their WhatsApp status too for
that day until WhatsApp itself disabled the status update.
Did
this work? O yes, it did. My husband saw all our messages and that made him feel
like a worthy father. And then I began to think, what if I didn’t pray. How on
earth could I think that putting up a message for my husband on my WhatsApp
status would actually improve my husband’s state of mind on Father’s Day? Every
time I think of this, I can’t help but wonder about the awesomeness of God. He
brings big things out of very little things. God helped me solve what could
have turned out to be a big issue in my marriage using absolutely nothing. And please don't wonder too long on why I am saying a big issue. You just can't imagine the level of damage the devil is capable of doing with this simple issue if not handled properly. I didn’t
have to spend the money that I didn’t have and yet I got the desired results.
I write this to encourage someone today, there is
absolutely nothing too irrelevant to pray about. The tiny issues of our
marriages which we ordinarily would look down on are the things the devil would
try to hold onto to destabilize our homes and try to fulfill his evil agenda in
our marriages. A little prayer at the right time is all that is needed. From
the very big issues of your life to the very tiny ones, trust God with them.
Don’t bother to try to figure it out yourself, just practice the act of hearing
from God as you pray, He has the ideas to resolve those issues far more than
you can imagine. God does the work and you get the accolades when you learn to
pray and trust Him.
