Woke Up To Show You What the Lord Just Showed Me

Okay So I was reading my Bible and last night  and I went to bed, but i clearly heard the Lord tell me to keep reading, but I was sleepy so I lay down anyway to go to sleep (i dunno why i do this... it never works) I didn't sleep for long as I woke up just tossing and turning. I said okay Lord if you really want me to read the rest of these scriptures then wake me up really wake me up because i'm to tired/lazy to even turn on this light. SO i la there and lay there and couldn't get comfortable and couldn't get back to sleep. Then I turned over and saw something flashing in my computer bag. I misplaced my bluetooth on Monday and was upset and frustrated because I thought I lost it (again) I seem to misplace these stupid things all the time. So when I saw the flashing I couldn't believe. Did he just show me where my blue tooth was and I had it with me all this time. Plus I would have never found it in the daytime because I wouldn't have seen it blinking. I even thought to myself. Lord if I need to read these scriptures, then show me something with my (cell)  phone. LOL... the Lord hears your thoughts I tell you. So I sat up and said to myself okay okay I'll read. :) So I got up and turned on my light wondering if I was supposed to find a specific scripture or just keep reading where I left off in 2 Samuel. The Lord clearly told me 2 Samuel (I really can't explain how He speaks to me,.. it's almost like just hearing my conscious, but it's someone else...i dunno if that made sense... that really just may make me seem even more crazy... but whatever... everything is right, plus i don't have time to concern myself with what other thinks along those lines). I open my Bible to read and the Lord shows me this scripture 2 Samuel 7: 18-29 (King David's Prayer):
18 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said:

"Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, O Sovereign LORD, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant. Is this your usual way of dealing with man, O Sovereign LORD ?
20 "What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Sovereign LORD. 21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.
22 "How great you are, O Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. 23 And who is like your people Israel—the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? [c] 24 You have established your people Israel as your very own forever, and you, O LORD, have become their God.
25 "And now, LORD God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, 26 so that your name will be great forever. Then men will say, 'The LORD Almighty is God over Israel!' And the house of your servant David will be established before you.
 27 "O LORD Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, 'I will build a house for you.' So your servant has found courage to offer you this prayer. 28 O Sovereign LORD, you are God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant. 29 Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, O Sovereign LORD, have spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever."

The Lord means what He says, and says what He means and will do all that He sets out to accomplish. It just further confirms all that the Lord has been saying to us, The Armsteads from the beginning since this whole incident happened.... Everything is a test and nothing is what it appears to be. The test is are you going to give in to what you see, or hold on to what God said it's going to be which is the what it IS going to be?
