I was returning home from my vacation. I booked a taxi to pick me up from the airport. It’s about 100 kilometres with a planned arrival home around 1 am. I was searching for the taxi driver for minutes but no one was waiting for me. I started praying and asking Jesus to help me. I didn’t know what happened and didn’t want to panic. I knew it’s difficult to book another car at midnight for such a long distance.
Suddenly, another taxi driver – that drove me several times before – passed by me. We noticed each other at the same time.
I explained to him that I booked taxi from his company but no one was waiting for me. He checked my booking in their system and found out I had ordered my pick-up for the wrong date.
It was easy to mismatch the dates when booking lift for midnight. Actually, I felt that something was wrong but I didn’t know what exactly.
The taxi driver told me he had been waiting for a customer for twenty minutes but no one appeared, so he could take me home. I was shocked and happy at the same time. I was feeling very blessed this driver had no other orders. We got in the car immediately and he offered me to play whatever music I wish. I was happily thanking Jesus and played worship music. I was just sitting in the car and wondering how great God is!
I also realized that the same taxi driver took me to the airport weeks ago and he was late (it was his fault – no unpredictable situation happened). I almost missed my flight because of him. That time I kept in mind that „our battle is not against flesh and blood“ (Bible, Ephesians 6:12).
And instead of complaining, I was praying for him all the way to the airport. The fact that I was able to forgive the driver for his mistake and being late, allowed me to open myself to God’s blessing as is written in the Bible: „Be kind to each other, sympathetic, forgiving each other as God has forgiven you through Christ“ (Ephesians 4:32). Consequently, God could use this man to help me when I needed it urgently.
