Scripture: "From the east I summon a bird of prey, from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do." (Isaiah 46:11)
I was talking to a friend of mine recently, and we were talking about how at times, God seems to lay down events in our lives, one right after the other that lead us in a direction that are unmistakably His. I'm talking about a series of events that the world would call "coincidences".
I choose to call these series of events "God's Breadcrumbs" because when followed, the "trail" often leads to Him and His perfect will for our lives. Or they are events by which I think He shows Himself to us.
It's so amazing to me when God lays out His plans so clearly, and doors of opportunity fly open before you, and as the blessings come, you are left in awe of this Great God we serve.
God's Breadcrumbs. Follow the trail and you will be amazed what you find when you realize Who left the "crumbs" for you to follow. "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!" (Luke 12:24)
Prayer: Lord, open our eyes and help us to see the "breadcrumbs" You leave in our lives for us to follow. Not only in big events, but in the smaller things in life as well.
Prayer request: For our eyes and hearts to be open to the surprising ways God provides for us, and to remember to give Him all the thanks and praise He deserves.

Jen - you are so right - and it is so true what the prophet says: "My ways are not your ways; my thoughts are not your thoughts, says the Lord."
Great post - thanks so much!
I like that analogy. Guess what I will think about the next time I am breading something for dinner.
