A Divine Encounter

After a hard day’s work yesterday we took a walk to the town square for ice cream. While in the square Nate Bond met a guy named Adrian, and Adrian didn’t have enough money to buy something to eat. A few of us walked over to Burger King (the have BK in Ponce!) with Adrian to minister to him however we could. Just when you feel as though you are in position to minister to someone, God flips the script and beautiful things happen. Nate asked Adrian if he had a bible with the thought in mind that he would give up his own. Adrian said he did have a bible, and he asked Nate to turn to Joshua 1:9, which says, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” But Nate didn’t read the verse… because he had it memorized! Joshua 1:9 just so happens to be Nate’s favorite bible verse!

We took some time to pray for Adrian and returned to our dorm. And as we worked today it’s hard not to think about our divine encounter last night and have Hebrews 13:2 floating around in our heads: “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so some have entertained angels without knowing it.”
