True Story For November 2009
While we were at music practice last night, at the church, our keyboardist received the most incredible call.
It was from a friend, whose husband had recently passed away. She had just received a phone call from a friend who had been out of town at the time of her husband's funeral and was now offering condolences. That lady had been in Kentucky, for quite some time taking care of a family illness.
Two weeks ago, while still in Kentucky, she told my friend that she saw an elderly man walking along the highway, and although she normally did not do things like that, she stopped and gave him a ride. She said his clothes were just rags; it was obvious that he was homeless.
After they got back on the highway, the man began to speak. The words he said were, "The trumpet is at my lips". His newly appointed chauffeur jerked around to look at him in amazement, but he was gone. Swerving a bit, as she looked around for him inside her car, at highway speeds, a policeman pulled her over.
Very shaken, she relayed her story to him.
The policeman told her, "Ma'am, you are the fifth person today who has seen this same man and told me this same story".
I realize that it really doesn't matter if this story is true, or isn't. What matters is that the times and actions of this world are lining up with what the word of God describes as the last days. Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, famine, pestilences...
As Christians, we are supposed to find comfort and joy in the return of the Lord. So, does it really matter what method catches our attention to help keep us focused on that day?
