Lord is with me.
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. - Psalm 107:19I
took this verse and give thanks to the Lord. This was what happened to me yesterday. I was in trouble.I thought I was smart. I bought a one way air ticket to KL yesterday to attend an exhibition in the afternoon. All along, I thought I will have no problem getting a return ticket back to Singapore in the evening over at the shuttle counter. I did it many times before and I HAD NEVER experience what I was about to experience.I took a cab from the exhibition center in the evening to the airport. It was an hour journey and by the time I arrived at the shuttle counter, there was this gentleman sitting right at the counter saw me and asked, "What do you want?" Of cos, I told him I need to purchase a return ticket to Singapore. He then replied, "Full. All flight full." Now, he definitely was not an angel...very unhelpful and rude!He then added, "Late flight, business class maybe."Before I could say any...he continued, "I cannot sell you."At this point, I really feel like strangling him...It was like build up hope and crashed it right on my face."Are you serving SQ only?" I asked."Yes.""So, where can I check for Malaysia Airline?""You go down to level 3 to ask." He replied.I then prayed within myself...not formal prayer...but just spoke saying,"Lord, I need you now..I need help, Lord." I made His presence very real, it was like He was really standing next to me.When I arrived at level 3, I went to a counter and started asking. This time, the lady attended to me was very warm. She took the phone and started checking. Although she spoke in Malay language but from her expression, I knew it was not going to be a good news for me. True enough, she told me all the flight was full.I was disappointed but under my breath, I was "Lord....."Just then, one gentleman came...he asked the lady about the situation and then spoke some Malay language among themselves and turned to me smiling, "10.40pm flight, please wait I check." Guess what...other lady sitting next to him said, "Ok..7.30pm flight." Hallelujah!The man turned to me and say.."You are lucky."I knew straight away...It is not, It's the Lord!The lady told him that one customer last minute cancel his/her flight and so they are able to place me in for the 7.30 flight. PRAISE GOD!It is not about Luck, It's whom you know you belong to. Amen, Thank you, Jesus!
