«Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered» (Psalm 40:5).
WHAT A GREAT TRUTH we read in today’s verse, Psalm 40:5. Can you count the wonders God has done for you throughout your life? I can remember many of them, and I am going to tell you about one of them today. It happened in Cuba fifteen years ago and I will never be able to forget it.
A group of fifteen of us set out on a missionary trip to Cuba to share the gospel with our brothers and sisters on the island. When we arrived at the airport, we had to go through customs, and none of us had thought to bring any documents to certify that our baggage was a donation from the Church in Costa Rica. Thus, when the customs agent told us to open our suitcases so he could see what we were bringing with us, we got a little nervous. When he saw the contents of our bags, she told us, «I need to see the document that says what you are bringing in is a donation of the Adventist Church in Costa Rica for the Adventist Church in Cuba. Otherwise, you will not be able to bring all these goods into the country.’
Three of the members of our group had already gone out and were outside the airport looking for the driver of the car that was waiting to pick us up. When they saw him, he gave them an urgent letter, supposedly from my husband, that they had to deliver into my hands. When they gave it to me, I breathed a sigh of relief. The contents of the letter were exactly what the customs agent was asking for, and it came properly signed. I gave it to him with Christian pride and we continued our experience, which was a blessing for everyone.
When I arrived in Costa Rica, the first thing I did was thank my husband for having sent me that very timely letter, to which he replied, «I never sent you any letter.»
As much we asked and tried to figure it out, we have not been able to find out the origin of that letter to this day. I am convinced that it was one of the wonders of God in our lives.
When we place ourselves in God’s hands, we had better prepare ourselves to see Him act in ways we do not even imagine. We have powerful reasons to believe in Him.
