I am sure people drove by and were irritated that this man was trying to cross a busy street. He probably got a few honks of the horn from other drivers. I believe he was an angel for me — A beautiful angel in a wheelchair with a message, “The Lord is coming back!”

-Hebrews 13:2 (Amplified)

Prayer Prompt:
“My Savior, I praise You and thank You that You will return for us one day! Help me to stay fixed on that glorious promise when the days are difficult. Help me to remember that You are coming back when I struggle in the areas of…”
