Divine Appointments
Author: Sue Bond (Western Australia)
As I was having a blood test, the phlebotomist noticed that we shared the same birthday.
Then she looked disheartened, as she told me the day’s horoscope message for Pisces people like us: ‘Don’t expect all your dreams to come true.’ I had the impression that she felt discouraged about more than her horoscope.
Out of my mouth came the words ‘I don’t really believe in horoscopes. God is much bigger than a horoscope, and he can make your dreams come true.’ I saw her face light up; she looked more hopeful.
I had often prayed for opportunities for God to use me despite my timid nature.
I felt encouraged that he had given me the words to reassure her and also the boldness to share them.
We both were encouraged. I pray that she will come to know Jesus as her Saviour and that she can put her hope and trust in him.
Prayer: Dear Lord, bring people across our path who are ready to hear about you, and give us boldness to witness for you. Amen
