Being groggy and sleepy, I pondered for a moment.
"Go and charge your mobile phone, it’s dead.”, the prompting repeated.
Based on some past experience, I had learnt to respond and not argue or question God when He speaks. I opened my bag, ran my fingers in search of my mobile phone and took hold of it – it was definitely dead, the battery was totally drained.
It’s one of those rare moments where my phone runs out of battery. Staying in a rented unit back home without a land line, mobile phone was the only way for friends and family to communicate with me and I have always ensure that it was reachable 24 hours a day. I took hold of the charger with the other hand, set it up and left the phone charging.
30 minutes later, a call came in. It was from my counterpart in Singapore who was helping me with the coordination of a workshop in KL while I was on leave. She needed some urgent confirmation and clarification on the audio-visual requirements I had communicated with the hotel. It was an important phone call that required immediate answers. We were running short of time and the workshop would be taking place in a matter of days.
Ending the call, I sat there thanking God for being such a loving Father who is attentive to small details. Nothing escapes His attention, not even things that we label as “small, insignificant and tiny”.
Has God been speaking to you lately? God doesn’t just speak to us in major decisions or life threatening situation, He speaks in the mundane ordinary life too. He is a loving Father that desires intimacy with His children.
