While in Zambia we were having breakfast when one priest said: “Do
you know what Providence is?”
and he then told me a story.
“Last week I was driving in the
middle of nowhere when I hit something and lost all the oil in the
car. Someone came and said 'you can fix it by using some
soap to sell the crack' which I
did. Still, where to find oil at that place? Someone else pointed to
a nearby village. I was surprised considering the place was very
small. 'How is it that they have it?'.
The answered amazed me: 'Last week a truck passing the area
lost a big container with oil and the people kept it'.
That is Providence! It seems
that God had already provided for my accident...”
I also thought of how Providence
had worked in my life. Things that happened in my life which at that
point made no sense or had no special meaning became, later on, a
sign of God's Providence preparing the future.
