In flight

The young man apologizes as we get up to let him through to his window seat. We have a long flight ahead. Fourteen hours or so. 

Beforehand, I’ve asked for a heart attentive to His prompting. And for willing availability, boldness to share the gospel.

It’s not my first thought on airplanes lately, to be honest. I’d rather chill in my own little world. Enjoy the extended “pause” from daily tasks.

But as he’s seated, I pray for wisdom. To listen and obey.

Mystery revealed

The look on her face is one of awe. Sheer wonder.

“It is hard to imagine,” she says. “I never dreamed God could be like that.”

I am watching mystery revealed. A startling front row view of how He works.
