Daily Devotion (English) – 22.10.2024

 

A false signal

 

"…I will not leave you nor forsake you..." - Joshua 1:5

 

At exactly 9:47 a.m. on February 20, 1962, the space shuttle lifted off in a blaze of smoke, carrying astronaut John Gillan. He was traveling alone in that vehicle.

 

The spacecraft circled the Earth three times, covering 80,000 miles in four hours, taking pictures and returning to Earth. As the vehicle was coming down, the researcher who was controlling it received an alert. Accordingly, "the fire shield is coming off by itself from the spaceship"! Minutes were passing quickly. NASA scientists were at a loss as what to do. Five minutes later, John's voice came over their radio. John was coming safely back to earth. The happiness among those present was immeasurable. Only then did it become known that it was a false signal (black hole). John landed safely.

 

This is how the brothers thought about Joseph in the scriptures. That his story is over! Joseph was in a similar situation. His brothers picked him up and threw him into a pit. He lost contact with everyone. Then they sold him to unknown traders. He went through many hardships.

 

But one day came. The Lord exalted him above all. Joseph had an unexpected promotion in his life. Maybe you're going through a rough patch too? Do you have someone who knows the pain? Do you think that the Lord does not hear the sound of your calls? Do you feel like your life is passing you by? Are you thinking that God has abandoned me? Even if we think that God is far away from us in our lonely and sad times, God who said "I will never leave you nor forsake you" is still with us. Amen.

- C. Paul Jebastin Raj
