He is Leading You

I just wanted to share an experience that had a few weeks ago while shopping at of all places WalMart. I decided that morning to leave a little early because we needed some toothpaste in the house.

So I get to WalMart and I get to the aisle and began the search. I was looking for a particular brand that my wife had picked up a few weeks earlier. At first I didn't see it, so I picked up a little more expensive brand and was ready to walk down the aisle, when I said "I really wanted this brand",and as soon as I said that my eyes "supernaturally" went right to that brand. So I picked up the boxes, turned around to walk back down the aisle and I sensed the Lord saying "If I can lead you in a simple thing as buying toothpaste, can I not lead you in all things"

Well, let me tell you I was blown away and in tears at the same time. You see I had been crying out to God for so long for "direction" that He decided to use a simple thing like buying toothpaste to remind me that He loves me and cares about the "little" things of life.....even what you brush your teeth with.

I know that my steps are ordered of the Lord.....He is re-directing my steps!
