A young man who had been raised as an atheist was training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never really paid much attention to his friend's sermons, but he heard them often. One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he attended. The lights were all off, but as the pool had big skylights and the moon was bright, there was plenty of light to practice by. The young man climbed up to the highest diving board. As he turned his back to the pool, on the edge of the board and extended his arms out, he saw his shadow on the wall. The shadow of his body was in the shape of a cross. Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling, like someone was speaking to him. Instead of diving, he knelt down and finally asked God to come into his life. As the young man stood in deep reverence before the Lord, a maintenance man walked in and turned on the lights. The pool had been drained for repairs. Mm.
Lord, Sometimes we get frustrated. It seems like our words are falling on deaf ears, that no one is reading these or even interested. It feels like our loved ones will never see the truth. But we never know You are working in those for whom we've been praying. You have a plan we know nothing about! Thank you, Father! Help us not to grow weary or get tired. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
