Your Open Word e-Devotional for September 1st

Published: Fri, 09/01/17

Hello ,


The townspeople were in total despair. A fire which started in a diner was threatening to burn down the entire shopping district. They seemed helpless to do anything about it. Many of the people watching began to pray. Suddenly, a truck filled with farm workers came speeding down a hill toward the fire. The crowd moved back as the truck drove into the flames. The workers jumped out and beat at the fire with their coats, miraculously bringing it under control. 

The city fathers were so grateful for the men's heroism that they gave to each a plaque and a $1,000 reward. After the ceremony, a newsman interviewed the driver and asked him what he was going to do with the money. Without a moment's hesitation the man replied, "You can be sure the first thing I'm gonna do is to fix the brakes on my truck."

The above is only a parable, but sometimes God works through the most mysterious methods to take care of His own.  God cares about everything we go through!

"Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust."  Psalm 103:13-14


Have a great day and God bless!
