Divine Confirmation

July 27, 2008

Dear Friends,

Last week I wrote about those occasional times when the flow seems unbearably slow—when nothing “seems” to be happening, and you do not clearly sense what your next right step is. My suggestion was to simply enjoy the break, and allow the divine flow some time to work its magic.

One reader in Oklahoma (who described herself as “Ms. Whirlwind USA”) found my message to be particularly timely, and she wondered if it was a divine sign for her to slow down, relax, and just enjoy “the still, calm waters” that she appeared to be in.

Was it, indeed, a divine sign? Most assuredly! Because, within just a few short hours of writing to me, she experienced three synchronistic events that all pointed toward the exact same thing.

First, she drove by a billboard at a church that read, “It’s Summer—A Time To Relax And Spend Time With God.”

Then, a friend called her and asked, “Why do you feel that you always have to be busy? Why not just relax and enjoy the quiet time?”

And finally, she received an email from her daughter inviting her to come over for a night or two and just relax.

Could the message for this woman have been any clearer? And what a perfect example of the way that we receive divine guidance!

You see, the divine rarely speaks to you in one single way, one single time. When you are truly being guided by the divine, you are likely to receive multiple messages that all point in the same direction.

You may hear the still, small voice of your intuition, and then have it confirmed by an article you see in a magazine, or by something a stranger tells you. You may read something particularly inspirational, and then have it confirmed by a song you hear, or by a sign you see on the highway.

I call this kind of corroborating evidence “Divine Confirmation.” And what a relief it is, because it means that you get more than one chance to receive the message.

So, my friends, do you sense that there is a step that you are being divinely guided to take (or not take), but you’re not absolutely positive about it yet? That’s okay! Just wait!

If there is something that you are meant to know—really meant to know—it will become obvious soon enough. You just have to keep paying attention.
