Refreshed Perspective

Refreshed Perspective

Highway driving was easy this midmorning. I was driving to meet one of my spiritual mentors for coffee, but my emotions had been a lot that morning. With my eyes still feeling a little puffy from crying, I let the words of the music feed my soul. Just then, an eagle perched purposefully on a branch just beside the highway, caught my attention. As soon as I saw it, a smile grew on my face. It seemed the Holy Spirit within me was reminding me, that I will soar on eagles’ wings, if my hope is in Him. His joy bubbled up within me. He refreshed my perspective on the day in an instant. It was freedom.

My mentor and I arrived simultaneously at the door. ‘Nice timing’ I chirped. Upon entering, the coffee shop was more crowded than usual. However, we got our regular table. Today was a Frappuccino kind of day. I listened, took notes. My mentor was extra vulnerable this morning, shared a recent shortcoming and how she had to humbly apologize. This in turn helped me be honest and I asked her advice on a couple of things that exposed where my heart was at. She was gentle and talked to me in truth. I felt heard and encouraged to do the right thing. It was not easy to hear for my flesh, but I knew the words she spoke were straight from Him. She is the Lord’s vessel, and He was using her in that moment, to redirect my heart back on track.  

At the first red light, upon driving home, I took a deep breath. I was so delighted in Him who truly fills my soul. Just as the light turned green, I saw the license plate in front of me. I blinked. I could not believe what I was seeing. Another sign straight from Him. The license plate read ‘RN777’ I took this as God saying to me ‘Right Now, I am divine perfection, I have authority and am in control, with a perfect plan for you.’ I could barely believe His goodness to me in the span of just a couple of hours. I felt so uplifted. Everything that happened was so outside my control and yet, I did have to be there in those moments, to see, hear and let Him speak to me in the most beautiful ways that He does.

What do an eagle, license plate and divine timing mean to you?
