An Exercise in Faith

12/7/2018

 
Have you ever had days, weeks, or years where you feel like your faith is being put through an obstacle course?  Honestly, I normally don’t realize my faith has been stretching until after it has pulled a muscle.  Yesterday was an exception.  I began thinking half way through about what God could possibly be up to because, well…
I went straight to the airport after finishing up two days of back-to-back interviews.  After my Dad fixed a small technical hiccup, I was able return the rental car with almost two hours left to make it through security.  It took 90 minutes.
That is when I realized I left my phone under the huge key fobs in the rental car and there was no time to go back for it.  Great.  Then the plane iced up and our second engine couldn’t start.  But that was okay because my second flight was delayed and had a gate change x 6 (no joke) and was delayed again…and again.  At 0300 my flight finally took off. 
And it was sometime during those 7 hours while exhaustion was overtaking me that I realized: God is at work here.  This is quite simply one of the worst days of my life.  But it was all under His control, He was working it out and I needed to trust that.  That is when I realized, even though everything was going terribly:
  1. The rental company found my phone and was sending it snail mail.  Mild inconvenience and cost but nothing detrimental.
  2. The second delay allowed me to actually catch the flight (otherwise I would have missed it completely).
  3. And the airline choose not cancel my final flight (which I though they may because  about 50% of the passengers jumped ship and went to a hotel).
Everything ultimately worked out – by the grace of God. I’d call that an exercise in faith.  When is the last time your faith got the opportunity to work out?  Remember it?  Remember it.  God is faithful and He is at work in us.  How about that?


​For we walk by faith, not by sight.
​  2 Corinthians 5:7


​Praise God He didn't leave us to sink or swim.  He gave us life vests.
