Friday Night Miracle

I must share what God did for us last night! I'll get back to my Holy Spirit Definitions later, but this is just too awesome to keep quiet!

Yesterday evening, Ray and I had a couple over for TexMex, and then we drove the 45 minutes to the RockBox Theater to enjoy the good music and fun. I had fixed the spicey meat in my cast-iron skillet, served it in a bowl, cleaned up the kitchen, and off we went. By the time we got home, it was 10:45pm and we went straight to bed. I awoke at 4:30am and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water. To my surprise, I found the ceramic, electric stove top burner on high, red hot and with the skillet of grease on it, still sitting where I had left it. What a shock!

Then it hit me! That skillet sat on the hot burner from 5:30pm to 4:30am. With the grease and meat remains, it should have erupted into flames...at least heavy smoke. Everyone knows a grease fire is the worst! But wait! There was no evidence of smoke or flames! The skillet wasn't even damaged! How did this happen? Was the stove working properly? Absolutely! The stove and skillet were extremely hot, but there was no damage!

Now, we could walk away and say, "Whew, we were sure lucky!" But I KNOW without a doubt, our ever-present God protected us! We should have come home last night to a house engulfed in flames, BUT GOD! Our Most High, Loving God who is Emmanuel...God WITH us...delivered us from destruction as surely as I'm sitting here typing! We have been thanking Him all morning and never want to forget His amazing love,mercy, and protection.

To HIM who is WORTHY, be all GLORY, HONOR, AND PRAISE! We thank YOU, Jesus!

Wow. What an awesome, REAL God we serve!
Focused On Him,
