Divine Intervention

By Kay Heitsch • January 9, 2017

Yesterday at Planet Fitness I sat down on a machine next to a new member. Right away he started to talk to me. He asked, "Do you believe in God?" I assured him I did. He went on to say he wanted to share something that had happened to him. Here's his story.

George* said he was home alone and was about to get into bed. He had the TV on. As he was sitting on the edge of the bed he felt his hand and arm go numb. He thought it was odd, but ignored it.

Still sitting on the edge of the bed George grabbed the TV remote and changed the channel. He heard the words, "You're having a stroke!" He listened carefully to the service announcement and knew he was having a stroke. George got dressed and drove himself to the hospital...just in time!

George told me that he had been sharing his story with people who believed in God and those who didn't. He felt that this was proof that there is 'Divine Intervention' in our daily lives.

Today's quote goes along well with George's story. "There are no coincidences, everything happens for a reason. Some come as a blessing. Some come as a lesson."

George's 'Divine Intervention' was no coincidence. It came as a blessing and a lesson.
