I Have Found the Key

Something very interesting happened earlier tonight. Actually, things like this have been happening all my life, just that I now realize the lesson.

I was looking for an old cell phone I had because I needed a phone number for a friend that apparently wasn’t in my new cell phone. I looked on my desk, in my desk, under my desk, in my bag that I take to work, the bag that I take to school, and I even went downstairs to look around in my car. As you can tell, I was rather determined to find that cell phone because it contained something of importance to me.

In any event, while I was looking around in my car, I looked in the compartment underneath the arm rest in between the two front seats, and moved some junk around only to see something I never saw there before. When I picked it up and took a look at it, it was the infrared remote/key for my car!

Now, you have to understand, some time ago I was planning on calling the car dealer to purchase the device, because I didn’t think I had it. I was using a spare master key all along. However, after a while, I didn’t concern myself any longer with buying the key and now, while looking for something else, I find the key in my car.

The Bible says, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the Lord directs his steps.” My plan was to find that cell phone, but my steps were directed right to that key. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all [the things you desire] will be given to you as well.” I couldn’t help but think about the Kingdom of God taking the place of that cell phone that I was looking for; to be so determined to find it. If we continue to spend our time looking for this Kingdom of God, what else that we desire in our hearts will God give to us?
