As we drove from the airport to Pretoria after I arrived from Russia, I asked my friend to stop by the shop where I bought the Apple computer so that I can hand it in for repairs after half a glass of water was spilled over the keyboard. They could fix it while I was in Israel, I thought.
The salesman in SA immediately recognized me, but hid his face in his hands with a 'oh no!' when I told him the tragic story of my computer. He confirmed my fears that the motherboard will probably have to be replaced. He asked me if there was any response when I switch the computer on, by which I showed him that only a small blue light came on ... and that's it!
We discussed the details, and as we were talking, a movement out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. My computer started booting up and we watched in astonishment! Neither of us could believe it!
For three days there was no reaction when I switched my computer on!
I walked out of the shop with my computer in my hands with the words of my Russian friend ringing in my ears 'Carol, don't worry about your computer, God said that it will be fine'.
Up till now I have been working on my computer without any problem!
I praise God for His faithfulness in the small and the big things! And I repent for my lack of faith. But I praise God for friends who could hear the voice of the Lord loud and clear and could speak it with confidence into my situation while I was weak.
All glory to the Lord!
we should never trust in our own understanding (Pro 3:5) - this is a beautiful story of how Our Father cares for HIS children.
