He
comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are
troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT)
Today is the day I resolved to write a Seeds of
Scripture post and I’m happy to be back. I’ve been busy preparing a retreat about
remembering God’s activity in our lives and He affirmed my hiatus with several
God-incidences.

remembering God’s activity in our lives and He affirmed my hiatus with several
God-incidences.
What’s a God-incidence? It’s a coincidence that’s
not at all coincidental – it’s God speaking, guiding, congratulating, interrupting,
presenting an opportunity or comforting. God-incidences are His hand in our
lives.

During our retreat, we mapped out our faith journeys
to discover God-incidences. Some were small and fun. Others were major turning
points. When we gather them together and remembered, they reminded us that God guided
us, acted on our behalf, reassured us of His presence and sent help when we
needed it.

Today’s devotion from (in)courage entitled You
Are Equipped displayed the image I used for this post. The author spoke of
ways God has equipped us that we hesitate to use. We stay safe and comfortable rather
than trusting God to accomplish His purpose in us.

A Lenten devotion from GreaterThings.today spoke of
patience suggesting “When you are inconvenienced, consider the opportunity that
might be presenting itself.” Isn’t this another way of saying the inconvenience
might be a God-incidence?
