Day 11 ~ Purpose to reflect on this Promise
~ God’s name is a
powerful, safe place!
Run to His arms
today.
(Growing up, I'd heard several true stories of God
miraculously saving people
when they called out His name....
Fast forward to
2004 ~ I was alone in Rome, Italy, just me, my 2 backpacks, & Jesus...
I was
daily taking the train & buses, seeing the 2000 year old sights,
&
taking in the culture & beauty there.
Up until my last morning there,
I followed the directions of the
guidebooks & websites,
which clearly warned of young thieves targeting
visitors.
I was always extremely careful
with my wallet - passport/money - and camera,
carrying them under my clothes or
wearing my bookbag on my front.
But,
that last morning, I was carrying those items in my bookbag, on my back.
As I briskly went down the stairs to the
train, I "sensed" something telling me
to turn around.... I turned & saw 3 young men running up the
stairs,
WITH MY WALLET! I began running
after them shouting, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!!!"
They froze for just a second, dropped the
wallet, & continued running.
I am
still convinced the only reason things worked out is because God intervened!
My flight out was booked for just a couple
hours later
& I would've had no passport, no cash, no atm card, etc...)
