Divine Appointments
Had one of those little divine appointments today that remind you of how big God is. I'm awed by the fact that nothing is too big for God. I'm comforted by the fact that nothing is too small for God.
I took Parker to the airport to spend some time with Grandpa and Grandma Batterson today. There was a huge line at US Air and I had to get a special boarding pass to get me through security which almost made us late. So we got to the front of the line and there was an elderly woman in a wheelchair being pushed by her middle-aged son right in front of us. When we got up to the person checking boarding passes, he told this man that he couldn't pass through security and they didn't have any staff available to push his mother's wheelchair. He knew she'd miss her flight if he went back to get a boarding pass and I really sensed that God put us right behind them in line to help out. So I carried her purse and wheeled her to her gate before putting Parker on the plane. As we were on the way to the gate, she looked up and said: "God was looking out for me."
What a thought: God is looking out for us!
I love those supernatural synchronicities where you know God put you in the right place at the right time. I envision an entire angelic division devoted to divine appointments. They are setting up big ones and little ones all the time! It was little to me, but it was big to this elderly woman!
Matthew 10:29-30 is a beautiful celebration of the sovereignty of God.
Not even a sparrow, worth only half a penny, can fall to the the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid.
Doesn't that give you an incredible sense of destiny?

It does...and I needed to hear this story today. Thank you.
Great story Mark. Thanks for passing it through.
Not only did you bless that sweet woman, you taught your son a valuable life lesson in compassion without speaking a word to him. I love it when God uses those things that seem small to us to make a big difference to someone else!
Mark I have been away for way to long. Man is it good to read your thoughts again. I can't think of a better post to start back on either. My Pastor always says "Your Actions determine Your Destiny." I really like it when God "sets" us up like this.
How many times do we pass up moments like these because we are inward focused and determined to get done what WE need to get done? This is a reminder that our time is God's time and we should always be aware of the opportunities around us. Thank you!
