God can use you in many ways to encourage others. Watch out for those exits that God has prepared!
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. One time my husband and I were driving down the Interstate in a rush to get to our destination. We were hungry, but we really didn’t want to stop – finally, though, we pulled off the highway to grab a quick bite. While waiting in line at the restaurant, we struck up a conversation with an elderly couple named Jane and Henry. They talked wistfully about their disabled son who, just months earlier, passed away. They were feeling down, but our short visit was a Godsend. Right then I knew why God had us get off the interstate at that particular exit to pull into that restaurant. Because God wanted us to deliver his message of encouragement to Jane and Henry. He moved heaven and earth, as well as our van and our stomachs, so we’d arrive right on schedule to get behind them in line. God can use you today in the same way. So watch out for those exits that God has prepared!
