the God who overrules all things

I saw a miracle this morning. My friend Kimberly caught a flight that she had no business catching. I mean, I left her on a really, really long security line at 6:30am (long as in long-line-just-for-the-elevator-long. Her flight was supposed to depart at 7. I told her, "You're gonna need the waters to part for you to get on that flight." We laughed and said at the same time, "God is sovereign!"

At 6:48 she called. She was on the plane!

It's a small thing, maybe a silly thing in the grand schemes of God's universe. But we prayed (rather more like the woman who pestered the judge than like the psalmist who 'quieted his soul within him'), and He answered us by slipping her right through the line and onto her plane. He overrules broken alarm clocks, traffic, closed toll lanes, cranky security officers... and all for His glory! No scheme of ours could have gotten her on the plane, but the Lord did it without our efforts. Praise Him!
