One Percent
The ministry Ron used to work established a letter writing campaign to the American Soldiers fighting for us called, “Dear American Soldier.” After the anthrax attacks, they were forced to stop this campaign. People had sent in thousands of letters to be mailed to the soldiers which were now unable to be sent. To make a long story short, through some contacts, they were able to get those letters over there, but only a few thousand could be sent. They heard back from one company who said that when a box full of letters were poured on the table the guys just started grabbing them. One of the men, with tears rolling down his face, said, “Guys, you aren’t going to believe this. This letter is from my own daughter.” What are the chances?
My sister in law is pregnant with her 4th child. She is due in January. Her last ultrasound showed the baby was breech. They were going to try a version which is a very risky method of trying to turn the baby from the outside. She asked us all to pray for the baby’s safety and hers as well. When she went in for the procedure, the baby had turned on its own! There is only a 1% chance that that can happen.
God is a god of 1% chances. Just when you think it can’t happen – God steps in. Just when you think all is lost – there is God. Just when you reach the end – you find His hand. There is healing, hope, mercy, grace in the shadow of the Almighty. Once again, I stand in awe that He cares so much about the little things in my life.
