"Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and He will show you the right way. Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are; simply obey the Lord and refuse to do wrong." Proverbs 3:5-7
Fire drills are practiced monthly in schools, but i've never heard or seen them in businesses or hospitals. Have you? So, at 9pm in the hospital when the hall lights start flashing and a commanding loud voice blurts over the intercom, "There is a fire in the building, exit immediately using the stairs and not the elevator." You just know it's real.
It was in that moment i looked at my husband and told him he best leave, as he had 5 flights of stairs to descend. Strapped to a bed, i could only imagine what was in store for me. Maybe they had a secret shaft to hoist patients down to safety. Luckily, i did not discover what the actual protocol was, as we were soon informed the fire was in another building... whew.
In life we sometimes have drills to prepare us for events, and sometimes we don't. Life lesson today... Listen, follow instructions and be prepared to act on the unknown. Because at some point in our life, we will all face an unexpected event. Yet, here is One comforting Truth we can always rely on:
Listen, and Trust the Voice of our Shepherd. He will not lead us astray nor alone.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
