Do people just get lucky? Or is it possible there are no coincidences?
Going to church for youthgroup two days ago, the parking lot was fuller than usual. Apparently there were a lot of older folk interested in "Hymn Sing" that night... I parked at the place where I always had a guaranteed spot: Grandma's house (which was just up the hill from the church.
After youthgroup, I walked across the basin, up the hill, and got into my car. I turned on the car lights, or what I thought were the car lights.. I guess I still need to distinguish between those and the windshield wipers... I got it the second time. I put on Thousand Foot Krutch and proceeded down the road away from my grandparents house. At the stop sign, I finally noticed it - a note underneath one of my windshield wipers, telling me to come inside Grandma's house for some popcorn. How it went unnoticed (even after I accidentally turned my windshield wipers on!) I don't know. I guess awareness is another thing I need to work on..
Sometimes, a lot of times, God tries to get our attention using subtle signs. The hard thing is seeing them. Sometimes it's very easy to see that something is of God, and sometimes, we can get so absorbed in ourselves and in the moment that we fail to see God is trying to get our attention, waving at us right in front of our faces.
Seeing God is not always easy, and I've failed to see Him the moment He tries to get my attention, only to realize later it was Him all along. We as Christians should meditate on God's Word daily to increase our awareness of those subtle signs on our windshields.
