Sitting here in this 16 hours flight from Los Angeles to Thailand on this mission trip, I can’t help but wonder when the next on board meal will be served, while munching on some little serving of snack. Oh poor me, I want to have more than this little food that I am enjoying right now. I cannot wait until my next full meal.
And then I got to think, how about some poor person who does not have any food to eat right now, who may not even know where to get it. How much more difficult is his or her situation might be at this moment compared to mine. Is my situation that sad compared to that other person? Is not his or her situation more pitiful than mine right now?
What if that other person has not even had any food to eat since yesterday. Surely God would be more concerned of his or her present need than mine right now. I should think more about them and pray for them.
Some times there would be other people that I should think about right now than myself. I may not be able to provide for their present need at the moment but at least I can give their situation more thought. I can at least ask God to send help to that other person.
Surely that person needs some attention right now. And just as I am meditating on this the stewardess handed me food. Lord you are also thinking about me. I praise and thank almighty God for this precious lesson in my walk with Him. Surely His great love is on everybody.
To God be the glory always!
