Divine Appointments : Meeting God In My Daily Life

“Thou will make known to me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures forever” (Psalm 16:11). Many of us are searching for answers, seeking comfort, and desiring a closer communion with our Lord. And yet, in the circumstances of our daily lives and in times of meditation and reflection upon God’s Word, there are many opportunities for “divine appointments” when our Lord speaks directly to us. Some we are cognizant of immediately as we respond to the Holy Spirit. Others we miss because we are too focused on self and circumstances. Through Divine Appointments, Michele Christon leads us in a “time” conscious study of God’s Word. Our lives have “an appointed time for everything.” Within the contrasts of Ecclesiastes chapter 3 and numerous cross-references, she demonstrates God’s eagerness to communicate with us, to reveal Himself personally, and to assist us in understanding and applying His Word. God appointed the time in Christ’s life when He died so that we could have eternal life (Romans 5:6). Likewise, God has divinely appointed each circumstance in our lives, including the opportunity to accept His Son as our Lord and Savior-a “divine appointment” we must be willing and eager to keep.
