GOD KNOWS JUST WHAT WE NEED

GOD KNOWS JUST WHAT WE NEED

 

A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter.

 

Upon returning to her car she found that she had locked her keys in the car. She was in a hurry to get home to her sick daughter.  She didn't know what to do, so she called her home and told the baby sitter what had happened and that she did not know what to do.

 

The baby sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse.  She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door."  The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time or other had locked their keys in their car.  Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this."  So she bowed her head and asked God to send her some help.

 

Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head.  The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me?"  But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful.

 

The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help.  She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her.  Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?"

 

He said, "Sure". He walked over to the car, and in less than one minute the car was opened.

 

She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank You So Much! You are a very nice man."

 

The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison yesterday. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out less than 24 hours."

 

The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud, "Oh, Thank you God! You even sent me a Professional!"

 

God may not always send us what we expect, but He will always send us what we need.  It's up to us to have the wisdom to recognize the difference and be thankful.
