Continued from, The Lord's Watchful Eye and Deliverance

My sincere apologies for my delayed post


He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners Isa 61:1

I remember vividly this was the passage I received to go New Delhi. Indeed, the people need freedom from poverty and most importantly, to have the liberty to encounter Him.

'............. and I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.' Matt 28:20b
I have the privilege to experience that as I obeyed and went on account of Isa 61:1 and Matt 28:18-20.
The Lord watches over me in little things too.

I remember clearly once when I was due to fly back to my home country for visa extension; it was on Boxing Day and as usual, Delhi was too foggy to have enough visibility to fly, and flights were delayed and mine as well, with no exception. An announcement came after a few hours of waiting beyond the etd. Air India personnel told passengers three options were given:

1: Passengers could go back to their homes and return to airport when the sky clears and taxi charges shall be reimbursed.
2. Go on a bus provided by Air India to a hotel and stay for the night, costs borne by the airline.
3. Stay in the hotel and breakfast will be provided for all passengers.

This was what was provided by most of the other airlines which flights were delayed. I called up my team leader and asked for advice. He suggested me to go and stay in the hotel.

I took the advice and went with the whole throng of people supposedly to go to the car park to board the bus to the hotel.

As we set off I met a Tibetan couple and they had difficulty trying to understand what was going on as they did not understand English and Hindi. I translated for them to Mandarin and explained to them what was going on and they decided to follow us to head for the hotel.

As we were moving on, I sensed something tugging me not to go to the hotel. I ignored it and the tugging returned time and again. As we were at the exit point of the airport, the officers were pulling the tags that were attached to our baggage and the prompting not to leave the airport was so convincing that I backed out and picked up the one tag that was detached from my bag. I told the Tibetan couple to go ahead and I proceeded back into the airport to search for a long bench which I could lie down and rest.

With many flights delayed many passengers were left at the airport and despite that, God reserved one long bench for me where I could drop my baggage and lie down to rest.

The next morning, I ran into some passengers who decided to go to the hotel and I eagerly asked how was their hotel stay. To my shock, they revealed that they were made to walk around the car park many times and there was no bus at all to bring them to the promised hotel!!! They were stranded outside the airport and they could not come back into the airport for reasons I could not comprehend. I PRAISE THE LORD for His protection and care! God cared so much for me to speak to me so that I could rest and most importantly and consequently, have one less dislike about India.

As I look back, now having returned for about 16months, I can never forget His many other sweetness and watchful eye over me, in little little things and in the bigger things.
He is the everlasting God, The Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth. Isa 40:28.
