Deliberate: "to think about or discuss issues and decisions carefully" (Merriam-Webster dictionary).
A few days ago, as I rushed to make it to an appointment on time, the Lord allowed a pause to take place that forced me to slow down and deliberate.
I was stopped for a red light and fretting that on this day when I was about to be late, the lights were not coordinating the way they usually do. And then I saw a tiny something crossing the road–or was it a leaf being slowly blown across?
Turned out it was a very small turtle making its way to the other side. The light stayed red long enough for it to make it safely there. A good reminder that not only is God's eye on the smallest creatures in His kingdom, but He is watching out for me as well.
P.S. I made it to my appointment on time, with a few minutes to spare.
