Vision In The Night

“For the bread of God is He who comes down form heaven and gives life to the world.” John 6:33

A simple, dust covered van winds its way down a deserted road in Iran. For the driver and the passenger one wrong move would prompt their death. For not only are they in hostile territory, they carry a precious cargo of bibles, which, if discovered, would surely mean the loss of their lives. Suddenly, their steering wheel locks up and their engine dies. Just as they roll to a halt there is pounding on the drivers side window. Filled with fear the driver, Mark Sheehan, rolls down his window not knowing what to expect. The nearly breathless man standing next to him says, “are you the man with the books? I saw a vision last night that a man was bringing a book that I was supposed to read. I was even told to be on this road at this very hour. Then I woke up and found that everyone in my village had the same vision. With wide eyes, he asked again,

Amazed, the two missionaries handed over their car load of bibles. I’m still amazed when I think back at Mark telling me his story, but I should not be. God is an amazing God, and His wonders He will perform. The question is, are you seeing miracles in your own life? Are you looking for them? Are you even trying? Think about it this way; if God is willing to go to the ends of the earth to draw people who don’t even know they need Him, closer to Himself, how much farther will He go for those who willingly call out His name! Look up!
