On the road with God
Whenever I take a trip, I think about one of my favorite verses from Psalms: “The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore” (121:8). It reminds me that I am always cared for, whether at home or away. Since we are created in God’s image and likeness, as stated in the first chapter of Genesis, we are never separated from His tender love, because we are the very reflection of all the good that is God.
That’s why I wasn’t upset earlier this year when a Denver airport outside baggage checker informed me that my flight home had been cancelled. Everyone was being directed to a very long line inside the terminal where we’d be told our options once we reached the check-in counter.
I decided to put this waiting time to good use by checking the websites of various airlines on my iPhone to see if I could find an alternate flight. As I checked airline after airline, there didn’t seem to be anything available. When it was my turn at the counter, I was given the option of an evening flight on Thursday—in four days—or a partial refund. Since I had been praying diligently while waiting in line, and was listening for God’s direction, it took me only a moment to respond that I’d like the partial refund. I felt confident that God was caring for me and I’d be led to a satisfactory solution.
