Some situations in life drive us to our knees in prayer for divine assistance and intervention. Then, sometimes we look back on a situation that God intervened on, and we see that he was one step ahead of us. Thank God!
Several years ago an amazing miracle came my way… I had not even considered asking for it, and at the time, I didn’t even realize I needed it.
At the time I was still working in financials and education savings programs for young children, and there was a family that had started some fairly substantial savings programs for their children. One day, I received a call from the client, and she informed me about their plans to work outside of the country for a few years. I explained everything that they needed to do to secure their savings plans for their children. A number of months went by, and that gnawing inner voice initiated my concern for this family’s investment.
One day, an information package came from head office indicating there was an issue with the account that needed to be addressed. I became very concerned, as I was not sure if I would be able to contact the family. I knew they had planned to move to another country, and I did not have any way to contact them. I looked up their initial contact information in their file and decided to call their home phone number. I dialled the number and got an automated voice message and thought perhaps they had not moved yet or they had left a forwarding voice mail to their new address. As I was not certain about the messaging service, I left a cautious, but explanatory message emphasising the importance of the call. A few hours later, a lady returned my call. She said the family had moved a few months prior, but she was their best friend and had their new phone number. She indicated that she was late for an appointment and would call me back in the evening.
That evening she did not call back. I was concerned, so I took out their file and dialled the same home phone number as I had during the day. To my surprise, I got an automated message that said the number was no longer in service. I thought maybe I had dialled the number wrong, so I dialled it three more times. Each time the message stated that the number was disconnected. I checked the call display, but somehow the number the lady called me back from had been erased. At that point I realized that there wasn’t anything I could do about it, so I decided to let it go into higher hands.
The next day I was shocked when the lady called me back. She said that she had been too busy to call the evening before. When I explained that I tried to call her back but was informed the number was disconnected, she confirmed that, yes, the number had been disconnected for a few months. In disbelief, I asked if they had forwarded their voice mail to her number. She stated they had not. I asked what her number was so I could compare it to the number I had been dialling. The numbers were not even remotely similar. She said, “It’s a miracle! I’m the only person they left their new number with. How could you have possibly been connected to my number?” We marvelled at the impossibility of this happening and how someone up there must really be looking after this situation. She provided me with their new contact information and I was able to reach the family. When I finally reached the client and recounted the story to her, she could hardly believe it. She said, “It’s a miracle!”
Had I not been able to contact them, the couple would have been in a position to lose a substancial investment for their children. Fortunately, I had kept good records of all calls and this miracle saved their accounts. I was very thankful for God’s intervention, even though I did not realize that the clients and I needed it at the time.
It is truly incredible to look back on situations and how God is always one step ahead of us, preparing the way for our best interest. He is always encouraging us to trust that his Love reigns and to keep going forward.

As September draws to a close, there are many sights in nature that reminds us that there is a God in the universe who has a power beyond ours. Look around at the creation of time and seasons. The leaves begin to turn shades of yellow, orange, and red. The pallet of color is marvellous and breathtaking.
If you gaze at the Northern Lights in Alaska, you will be fascinated at the streaks of colourful light that dance across the sky in unique patterns. This is all a reminder to put our faith in an all powerful and loving God who is far greater than humanity. Who on earth could create with such magnificence and power?
Continue to encourage one another and keep going forward…
