Be an Angel to someone else

In my last post, you were left wondering how I resolved my situation when I ran out of gas. Well, there I was, a twenty something young woman standing on the side of the highway with my toddler in the dark—waiting. It wasn’t two seconds before cars began to pull over and people began to “offer me a ride.”
There was a car with several men in it and behind that car was another car with men in it. As I am standing there thinking, “What am I going to do,” another car pulls up behind those and it was one older woman and she said, “Come on honey, get in. You don’t want to get in those cars.” I didn’t even have to think about it. I and my child got in her car quickly and I thanked her profusely for being there and pulling over.
She drove us home and I believe I offered to pay her and she said, “Maybe you’ll be able to do the same for someone some day!” I believe that God came to our rescue that day through this woman’s obedience. That day she was our angel. Sometimes through our obedience we become God’s angels—not in the physical sense, but simply because we become His hands and feet, and through our obedience to Him, we become the answer to prayer. We become the blessing for which someone prays. We become the provision or the protection for which someone has begged. We show up at just the right time or we say just the right thing.
You know what I am talking about—from the receiving end or from the giving end—and when this happens, we cannot help thinking that God has had a hand in orchestrating the help. Psalm 138:7 speaks of God’s protection in times of trouble. I experienced God’s protection that day and it is my prayer that I have, in some way, been an “angel” to someone else. Go out today, my beloved, and be a blessing.
