DIVINE MOMENTS
Through a series of detours today, my wife and I ended up at a Panera Bread.
We sat down at our table to eat when I noticed a young man with a fire department hat on sitting across the way from us.
Then I noticed he was reading his Bible. As we were eating, God kept nudging me in the direction of the young man.
I finally got up and introduced myself to the young man. I told him about my background in the fire service and how God called me to be a Minister.
It turns out he’s 20 years old and getting ready to start the Fire academy next week. The same exact Fire academy I went to when I was 20. I was the 34th graduating class. He’s beginning class 82. (time flies)
He had some questions for me, and I was able to share from my journey in the fire service.
I shared my testimony with him and encouraged him in the Lord. I gave him my contact info and told him I’d be happy to introduce him to some good friends of mine in the fire service.
Finally, the Lord had me pray for him, and send him into his Fire academy with a blessing. It was a God thing; He really is a God of order.
When my wife and I got in the car to leave, she pulled out her phone and said, “God told me to take this picture while you were praying with the young man.”
When I looked at the picture, the Lord began to minister to me many things. Some things that are just between me and Him, but I will share this final thought….
Your walk with God will position you to be a blessing to the next generation.
Shalom 🙏🏽
