Signs of Reassurance

I do not know about any of you, but sometimes I find it difficult to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit. God has been pruning me (John 15:2,4) during this past week. He has been asking me to give up certain things and change some of my bad habits.

I am not always trusting in God, so I foolishly ask Him for signs at times.

Today, the weather in Niigata was beautiful. The sky was clear and sunny. We do not have a dryer at our house, so I hanged the laundry outside to dry before going to work.

My wife, Kiyomi, finished work and told me that the laundry had dried by the time she got home. I had only hanged the laundry out four hours before she returned home!

The past two months here in Niigata have been cold and cloudy. It has always either been raining or snowing during that time. My wife and I had to hang our clothes inside to dry. This took a very long time. Sometimes, we used our heater to stay warm and to dry the the clothes.

God used the quick drying time outside to show me that He will always provide the best way. He will always support us. He is never lazy and He never sleeps (Psalm 121:2-3).

So please never hesitate to trust Him and do what He says and how He wants it done when He asks.
