Just read John's blog entry on how God spoke to him through a ketchup bottle and it reminded me of a similar incident a few years ago. I was on my knees, praying, between two beds in a hotel room while on a layover (I'm a commercial airline pilot.) I had been wrestling with the Holy Spirit for a while that morning concerning fasting. I'd been struggling with the issue for several days, feeling that I was being called to a 10 day fast. Now, for a guy like me who HATES fasting, I would have preferred to have been tossed out the emergency exit at 37,000 feet because the agony is over much more quickly. And, I reasoned, my passengers had a right to expect a "full-up" pilot, not one hampered by the tortures of fasting. I finally decided that I could do a 10 day fast if I could drink fruit juice during that time. That seemed reasonable; no protein, nothing solid, just fruit juice. And LOTS of it, I figured. So, I was about to declare the issue settled when I heard that internal whisper, "What's that by your foot?" I realized that my foot had been moving an object around under the adjacent bed and it hadn't struck me, until then, that it probably didn't belong there. So, I turned around and fished it out. It was a plastic bottle of Lipton Brisk Natural Lemon Flavor Iced Tea. Sort of a strange thing to find under a hotel room bed. The Spirit whispered again, "Turn it around." I gave it about a half turn and my eyes fell on the words printed at the top of the label by the bar code..."Contains No Fruit Juice." I had nothing but water for the next 10 days. And an undeniable assurance that I was doing what my Lord wanted. What an amazing God we serve that He knows what's written on every bottle ever manufactured... and everything else as well!
