But
my God shall supply all your
need
according to his riches inglory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19 KJV
The dead and injured—estimated at 300,000
in each category, staggered the mind. In the midst of all that pain and suffering, a call went out asking for any
wound-care specialists available to make the trip from the United States to
Haiti. The trip to and from Haiti would be paid. However those going had to
provide their own way to and from Florida as well as take their own water, some
medical supplies, a typhoid shot, etc.
After much
prayer, our daughter-in-law, Crystal, and our son, Scott, made the decision
that she must go. The need for airline tickets, shots, and supplies would cost
several hundred dollars. The need was greater than their supply. However, God
began to meet every need and she was soon on her way to Florida.
Some last
moment unexpected changes once again called for God’s intervention. There were flight change fees and overweight
luggage fees and Crystal sent out a call to friends and family to pray as she
waited at the airport and began to get a bit nervous about the need for
additional funds.
We began to
pray and just before she left the ground she sent an email to confirm all was
better than well. She sent a list of her updated needs, recounted a
conversation with an airline employee who asked where she was going and what
she would be doing, and reminded family and friends of God’s great love and
care for His children. Below is part of that email.
Fee for overweight luggage $50 each bag
After
conversation with airline employee—
Fee
waived and clerk quoted Psalm 92 and committed to pray forme while I am in Haiti—PRICELESS!!!!!!!!
completely provided everything I will need! I am in awe
of my Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ!!!”
Our God is
able to do above and beyond anything that we can think or ask. Do not be afraid
to answer with a resounding yes when He calls you—perhaps to an unexpected
place at an unexpected time. He does His best work when we have our greatest
need.
