Grace of God

This post is dedicated to thanking God for showing us His presence and grace.

Yesterday night we went out for a sent off dinner for Cheryl. We were walking outside Amoy food centre towards Tanjong Pagar MRT station when one of us kicked something. I picked it up and realize it’s a key, a car key. We were wondering who had so unfortunately dropped his/her key there. I examined the key and noticed that it’s a Hyundai car key. And it so happen that a Hyundai cab was right beside us. I decided to try and see if it belonged to that vehicle. True enough the key turned when I slotted it in.

Upon knowing that that is the key to that vehicle, we started to think about how we can return it to its rightful owner. Just as Silas was still waiting for the operator of the cab service to pick up, we saw a man walking over focused on the ground. We walked up to him and asked him if it was his keys lifting it up to him and to his surprise, it was. We can so see the change in his expression as he received his key from us; the key to his livelihood and income. Or so we thought.

The next thing we know, he started to praise God and immediately all of us saw how we were being used by God to be His vessel of grace. So as he praised God, we did too and we thanked God! Only then did I realize I am wrong, his livelihood and income is from the Lord, the Lord of provision Jehovah Jireh! To think we just celebrated Jireh’s Birthday too =)
