I wake up naturally around 5am. I will go start the coffee brush my teeth and get ready for the day. I come back to the coffee pot and pour a cup mixing the right amount of cream and sugar. I am out the door without ever turning on a light. Why do I do this you may ask. Why do I strain my eyes to make coffee and even dress in the dark? It is because I love my wife Heather. We live in a one room apartment and if I turn on a light she will wake up. So, I stealthily sneak around to do my morning activities then wake her later with coffee in bed.
I think God does the same thing many times. While we are sleeping and going on with our normal lives He is behind the scenes preparing things for us, because He loves us. God makes our coffee in the dark. I know it is what He did with the purchase of our truck.
We thought we had the perfect vehicle picked out and the right price, but after God had provided us with all the funds we realized it was not all it had appeared to be. So, with wise counsel and prayer we waited. All the while God was preparing our hearts, and the timing, for the sale that He had planned. When everything came together we knew it was God. We have now purchased the truck we were looking for, in better condition and at a lower price than anything we had seen previously. The man we bought it from is a great Christian man named Bobby who is sure to be a friend. God always knows what He is doing. If we don't get too frustrated with Him letting us sleep; He is sure to bring us coffee in bed.
"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him." Colossians 1:16
So when God does, I will not put the focus on me or the coffee. I will worship Him.
