Fore more GITW see here onevm.net/gitw.asp GOD IS IN CONTROL - 554 One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal, he introduced himself as Howard Kelly and asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you? You dont owe me anything, she replied. Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness. He said, Then I thank you from my heart.As the boy left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strengthened as well for he had been ready to give up and quit. Years later that young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctors gown, he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the side of the bill and sent it to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She read these words... Paid in full with one glass of milk (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly. Psalm 37:23 reads, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way”. Howard Kelly’s steps was surely guided by the Lord! It is a demonstration of God’s Sovereignty in crossing the paths of these 2 people. Only our God can do this. It is not chance, neither is it fate…It is all within the hand of a mighty God. He has a reason and a plan for every person that we meet on this journey of life and He alone will bring it to fulfilment. What a delight it is to serve a God like this! Whatever you are facing today as you read this, know that the God who made heaven and earth is also watching over every area in your life and will surely bring everything in harmony at the appointed time.
