I'm totally slammed with last minute "to do" lists for work tomorrow, but I wanted to share this really neat article with you (Honestly, I had nothing for tonight's blog, but when my wife told me about it- I just had to share). It's about the journey of three teenagers, who were lost at sea for more than 50 days.
Since late September, the Lord provided for them. Rainwater for drink, jumping fish and strategically placed birds offered up just enough sustenance to get them through the ordeal. A watchful eye from a boat more than 800 miles from land, that just happened to spot them. So many things had to go "just right" for their survival. I'm reminded of the prophets and how the Lord took care of them in similar ways, too.
Jonah was sheltered from the harsh sun by a plant that the Lord provided, and he survived the experience of being within the stomach of a whale for three days, before being vomited out onto the beach.
Elijah was fed by ravens in the desert during a severe drought. The miracle of the never ending flour and oil also proved adequate provision for Elijah, the widow and her son for many days.
Paul barely escaped a shipwreck, among many other trials.
There was always "just enough" to keep them going; no more, no less. Coincidence? No. It was all the work of God. After discussing the events of the article above, I'm convinced that the Lord is doing important work within these three young men from Fiji.
Good Night
