Caller ID
Isn't it amazing how God works in our lives! On a Saturday night several
weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife
before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn't answer
the phone. The pastor let it ring many times. He thought it was odd that she
didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a few minutes.
When he tried again she answered right away. He asked her why she hadn't
answered before, and she said that it hadn't rung at their house. They
brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.
The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office, which
was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke
with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night. The pastor couldn't
figure out what the man was talking about. Then the man said, "It rang and
rang, but I didn't answer." The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized
for disturbing him, explaining that he'd intended to call his wife. The man
said, "That's OK. Let me tell you my story. You see, I was planning to
commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're
there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now.'
At that point my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it
said, 'Almighty God.' I was afraid to answer!"
The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that the call came from
"Almighty God" is because the church that the pastor attends is called
Almighty God Tabernacle!
