"Mindful of Us: Trusting God's Plan''
A few years ago, I left Port Harcourt for Lagos, and each time I return, it feels like I’m coming back to a different Port Harcourt from the one I grew up in. This morning, I left my house to visit a friend. When I got to the POS, due to the yuletide season, it has been very difficult to make withdrawals with my ATM card, so I did a transfer and it was successful. The vendor attendant said he hadn’t received the cash, but I had been debited. I had done two transactions they all received theirs then why him, so I was puzzled as to why the POS guy said he hadn’t received his payment. I waited at the vendor’s shop for a while, and then the guy said he wanted to get something and would be back. I waiting for close to two hours and decided to call him When I called his phone to ask if he had received the cash so I could leave, he said, "Abeg, get out, I don’t know you."
I just burst into laughter because I felt no anger at that point. Although as I thought about it I was furious, I held myself back from saying anything because When I first entered a cab earlier, someone offered to pay for my transport. After the issue with the vendor, I called another cab, and when I checked my purse, I found the exact cash I needed for that ride.
As the cab moved, I couldn’t help but marvel at the consciousness of God for His children. The Lord was so sure of my encounter today, and He put everything in place to help me navigate the situation successfully. I asked myself, "Who are we that the Lord is so mindful of us?"
Psalm 121:5 (NIV) says, "The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand."
Friends, it’s wrong to think that the Lord doesn’t care about us or isn’t watching over us. Whenever anyone encountered the Lord in the Bible, we could see God’s mindfulness.
No wonder the book of Psalm 8:4 says, "What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" This scripture shows how amazed King David was when he thought about how God relates to humans.
It’s wrong to feel that we have been forgotten. As the year gradually comes to an end, we might think we haven’t achieved what we set out to do. But I am here to tell you that the Lord is mindful of you. Just because you haven’t gotten everything you wanted doesn’t mean you won’t get it. Hold on—it’s not over yet. God will still make it happen. He has invested so much in you to leave you hanging halfway, so stand still and know that He is the Sovereign Lord.
