Trust Your Knowing

Have you ever had a insight or gut feeling about something ? Sometimes this gut feeling even goes against what seems logical or right, but have you done it anyway?, It is hard to trust something that we don't know the outcome of, but we are often asked to do just that. Today at church, I heard that a fellow parishioner had won $10,000.00 in a raffle. When I asked her about it, she told me that a neighbor had asked her to buy a ticket for church event. The raffle ticket was $100.00,not quite the average price of a raffle ticket. They had decided it might not be prudent to purchase a ticket since they had many medical expenses to pay this past year. In addition to the extra medical expenses they were newly retired with a $10,000.00 deductible on their medical insurance. A high deductible they would need to cover! She went on to say that they really could not afford to buy the ticket but knew she had to. Anyway if they did not win, it went for a good cause. After some discussion, the ticket was purchased and set aside. Some time later, the neighbor who had sold the ticket ,came over to present the winnings with much delight to a surprised couple. In talking with her today she just could not get over how sure she was that she need to buy that ticket. Not only that but the winnings was exactly the amount of their medical insurance deductible! She said it was amazing.

This is amazing indeed! Everyday each of us has these knowings and insights that guide us. We happened to know the ending to this story but often we do not. We are asked to trust our insights even we we cannot see the outcome. Today as you trust what you know, also trust that God is really watching over us all.
