The Badge
Like many retail businesses, the place where I work has a “work uniform”, which in my case is a simple vest and a clip-on name badge. That badge however is not merely for my name; on its back is a magnetic stripe (like a credit card) which allows me to easily clock in and out of my shift. (Contrasted to using either a computer in the employee training room or the employee app on my phone, both of which require multiple steps.)
One day as I was working at a particular location in the store, I discovered my badge was missing, having somehow become dislodged from my vest. At that time I had somewhat recently returned from a break, so I retraced my steps back to the break room, carefully eyeing the floor, particularly along the bottom shelves, trying to spot my badge. Without success, I went again from the break room back to my assigned work area, hoping to spot my badge from the “other direction”.
No good. So I went over to Customer Service to see if anyone turned in a badge. No, no-one had. I returned to my work area, resigning myself (as I was on an evening shift that day) to have to see someone the next day about getting a replacement badge.
It was at that moment I received the faintest suggestion from the Ruach to check my vest pocket. I initially dismissed this, as it seemed laughable that my badge would fall into the pocket while I was walking around. But I received a second gentle nudge, so I slipped my hand into the pocket … and there was my badge. However it was that the badge became unclipped from my vest, Abba Yehovah caused it to slide directly into that pocket.
If you haven’t yet made Jesus your personal Savior, today – right now – is the best time to do so. You can ask Him in your own words, or use some version of the Sinner’s Prayer. Remember, Jesus – Yeshua – turns no-one away. And if you do this, it’s guaranteed not only that you will hear from Ruach haKodesh, but also that you will learn to recognize it when it happens.
