Are Flat Tires From God?
I know – it’s a wild question BUT….this morning we had a flat tire and believe it or not WE believe it was a gift from God! Through this flat tire situation we were able to come in contact with three prospects for our new church that we would otherwise have never met. The first was a young man in his early twenties who stopped literally two seconds after we did and asked if he could help change the flat. He helped us and we got to talk about the Lord and the new multi-cultural church that we are starting. HE WAS INTERESTED!!! Then we went to purchase a tire and the young man in his mid twenties knew me and was interested in the new church because he had not really found one where he and his girlfriend felt comfortable or welcome. Both of these men expressed real interest and it was a blessing to be able to share with them about Life House and the new ministry there. Are flat tires from God — HMMMM…MAYBE ….HMMM I think YES!
Romans 8:28 is still in the book – so YES YES YES – this flat was a gift (even though it didn’t feel like it when it first happened!). Look for “God moments” in your life. Look for opportunities that might seem like a problem or burden at the moment and watch and see what God can do with it in your life to be a blessing to His work.
