The Deacons Corner

It was an early morning flight. My hectic job once again was taking me away from home. I did not want to talk to anyone. My plans were to sleep most of the flight. When I reached my seat it was next to a young lady and her five year old son. I said hello and laid my head back. Shortly after takeoff something impressed upon me to talk to her. I sat up and noticed she had tears streaming down her cheeks. In our discussion, I learned her father had just had a hemorrhage in the brain. The doctors did not expect him to live. The family had been called. Two years earlier I had the same type experience with my mother. The lady began telling me her story. I listened and then we prayed. I have often wondered why I was there. You see the company I worked for had plans. God used them for me to minister to that lady.
Are you in the midst of a trial? Is there a situation you had rather not be experiencing? Maybe God has a plan to use it. Ester’s uncle Mordecai explains in Esther 4:14 (NKJV)
14 ………………Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Are you in a leadership role, job or situation you’re frustrated with and you don’t understand why you’re there? Maybe God plans to use your life experiences in a ministering way.
See you Sunday.
