Let me explain practically what I am getting at theologically. Owning an RV is a challenge at times, especially for someone like me who is not an electrician, not a mechanic and not —in any sense of anyone’s imagination — a troubleshooter.
The last few days our RV batteries have been on the blink. I really didn’t expect these issues with a 2019 model, but heh, I was wrong. I read the manuals and watched electricians explain with ease on YouTube what my problem might be. And while I did figure a few things out, when I went to bed last evening the burden of these battery issues weighed heavy on my mind. I wouldn’t say I wasn’t trusting Jesus at all, let’s just agree that my faith was somewhat troubled by human doubt.
When I awoke this morning, God literally sent two men to my door who asked if I needed anything. One was a generous man who just cares about me. The second was a young man who can fix anything broken, and the third man (who the first man called in) was (in the words of the second man) “the best electrician in the area.”
After about 1 1/2 hours of diligent diagnosing, they had extracted my “new” broken-down power converter and replaced it with one that actually works. Our batteries are up and running fully charged again. Amazing, indeed!
As these men worked in the floor of our RV, I sat in amazement at how Jesus came through again for me. I actually had tears in my eyes because of His great faithfulness and their pure kindness.
I’ve been telling the Lord ever since that I trust Him but I want to trust Him more and more and more quickly. Then, an old church hymn from my childhood came to mind: “‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus”.
Here’s the link. Pray the words along with me today.
Presence Matters Most!
That is... Presence. Unity. Souls. Love.
