Thankful...Divine Intervention in Darkness

A few nights ago, I was driving the back roads in an unfamiliar area and I ended up on a long stretch of a dark road with no gas station in sight. As I pulled over to the side of the road with the dashboard reading "0 miles to go", I started anxiously wondering whether I should go forward not knowing where the next gas station was for there were no lights ahead in the darkness. Or, should I turnaround, go back down the road behind me and most assuredly run out of gas. I decided to drive ahead because sitting there on the side of the road was wasting gas.

A quarter of a mile ahead I came to a fire station. I pulled in the driveway right behind a fire truck that was returning from a call. One of the firemen got out of the truck and came over to the car to see what was wrong. I told him that I was not from around there and that I was about to run out of gas. He looked up and said that there was a gas station 1/2 mile down the road and, "If you run out of gas before you get there, I'll push you myself". Thank you God! For me, that was divine intervention. Even though I made it to the gas station without running out of gas, the fireman's friendly face, smile, and offer of help was the reassurance I needed at that time.

The message in this for me: "Go forward! I am with you even in unfamiliar and dark territory."

I hope this blesses someone. Have a great day!
