So I'm teaching this Sunday school class on "The Celebration of Discipline" by Richard Foster, and we are currently going through a chapter on Solitude. During my prayer time last night, I asked God if he would wake me up this morning at 5:00 a.m. so I could spend some time in solitude with him and pray.
Well...this morning I woke to the noise of a dog barking outside. I was annoyed, wondering "Why is that stupid dog barking and not stopping?" I tried to ignore it but became more alert, and finally realized that I had asked God to wake me up at 5:00 a.m. I decided the prudent thing to do would be check the clock and see what time it was. Turned out it was 4:57 a.m., and God was giving me my wake up call! The dog kept barking until I got out of bed and was in the living room...it stopped and I didn't hear it the rest of the morning.
Thank you Lord for answering our silliest prayers in the most creative ways.
