THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
Newscaster Paul Harvey told a remarkable story of
God's providential care over thousands of allied prisoners during World War II,
many of whom were Christians. One of America's bombers took off from the island
of Guam headed for Kokura, Japan, with a deadly cargo. Because clouds covered
the target area, the sleek B-29 circled for nearly an hour until its fuel
supply reached the danger point. The captain and his crew, frustrated because
they were right over the primary target yet not able to fulfill their mission,
finally decided they had better go for the secondary target.
After fulfilling their secondary mission, the B-29 headed for its home base. Later, an officer received startling information from military intelligence. Just one week before their bombing mission, the Japanese transferred one of their largest groups of captured Americans to the city of Kokura. Upon reading this, the officer exclaimed, “Thank God for that protecting cloud! If the city hadn't been hidden from the bomber, it would have been destroyed and thousands of American boys would have died.”
God’s activity often takes place behind the scenes; but He moves all the scenes that He is behind. We have to remember this and patiently allow Him to work. Trust God. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
