When God “Pokes” You

God is poking me. He just is today.

In a student group, a student preached from Psalms 73 on developing eternal perspective while living on earth.

The message did impress me, but what really impacted me were verses 25, 26 & 28:

Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.

My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works. (Psalm 73:25, 26, 28 NKJV)

Great passage that nudges us to desire God’s closeness in a world full of trivial distractions.

Read it. Great. Then later it came in a conversation. Then as a post on Facebook. Then on Facebook again.

I think God is poking me- giving me some nudges to really digest these words into my being.

God does have a habit in poking people. Little Samuel couldn’t sleep because he kept hearing Someone calling his name.*

Whenever He is tapping for your attention, look up; because He has remarkable secrets for you.

Has God poked you yet?

*1 Samuel 3

Okay, I know God communicates to us in creative ways, but to see this was definitely a humorous God-send.

Since I’ve been back to school, I’ve planted this seed of fear that is developing this doubt of “will I pass all my classes so I can graduate?”

What is so timely about this status post is that I saw just after I shared this fear with a friend.

Thanks God. You can hack my FB profile anytime. 🙂
