About a month ago, I was informed that a Sister of mine in the ministry, my friend, was in a serious car accident. While she was getting off of the Brooklyn bridge, the traffic had come to a complete stop. Unfortunatley the car that was behind her didn't realize that the traffic had stopped and rear-ended her into the car in front of her.
She had to be cut out of the car and airlifted to the nearest hospital. When I finally had a chance to speak to her she was home in bed recovering. We didn't talk for long because she was still very weak, but she said something to me that still resonates, "Rev. Miller, I am so mad at the devil right now!"
Sometimes when bad things happen, we want to blame God. Bad things will happen; things that we can't seem to explain, but we still have to know that we are in God's care.
This same friend of mine called me yesterday to share some Good news that GOD had done. Not only was she back on her feet, but she was also given a pastoral assignment by the Bishop of the AME church. She said that when she got the phpne call, tears of joy began to flow down her cheeks because not only had God spared her, God blessed her!
I praise God for my friend and for using her to give me more encouragement for the journey...
