Ephesians 4:6 (ESV)
One God and Father of all, who is over all and through
all and in all.
Last year a youth minister, Mike Hollifield, wasre
traveling to Sweden to teach at Holsby Brunn Bible '' School. As he left
Nashville, the airline agent looked at his ticket with concern. "There's a
mistake here," she said. "I'll correct it or you may have trouble
getting back." After a few minutes at the computer, she handed him the new
ticket, smiled, and wished him a good trip.
But when he tried to return home two weeks later, he was
told that she had inadvertently cancelled his westbound flight. His name was
nowhere in the computers, and his tickets was worthless. After hours of
negotiation and anxious waiting, he was finally squeezed onto an oversold
flight and given the least desirable seats ever assigned by an airline. But as
it happened, Mike was beside a Danish businessman who was open to hearing the
gospel. For six long, transatlantic hours, Mike quietly talked with him about
his life and about the wonderful difference Jesus Christ could make.
It wasn't an example of airline incompetence; it was an
instance of divine providence.
God can use everything even a cancelled flight.
Dear Lord, when things happen around us that we don’t understand
help us look for the good and see what God can do through the circumstance. In
Jesus’ Name, Amen.
