GOD IS HERE
Leslie and her two daughters were about to be evicted from their home.
Although Leslie believed that God could help, so far He hadn’t given a clue as
to how. She wondered, Where is God? As she drove to the courthouse,
she prayed for God’s intervention. Then she heard a song on the radio
proclaiming, “God is here! Let the brokenhearted rejoice.” Could this be the
assurance from God that she was longing to hear?
Inside the courtroom, Leslie stood before the judge, heard his decision,
and signed the legal documents, but still God had not given her an answer.
As Leslie was walking to her car, a truck pulled up beside her. “Ma’am,”
said the driver, “I heard your testimony inside the courtroom, and I believe
God wants me to help you.” And he did. Gary helped Leslie get in contact with a
woman who was able to work with the parties involved to reverse the
process so that she and her girls could stay in their home.
When people ask, “Where is God?” the answer is, “Right here.” One way
God is at work is through Christians like Gary who are continuing the work
Jesus started—healing the brokenhearted and binding up their wounds (Ps. 147:3).
When we love God, we will serve people. (RBC)
