Evidence of Divine
Assistance

The vast
majority of people believe in angels or a divine source of assistance.
Enthusiasts often reveal dramatic stories of divine intervention that
have clearly affected them at a deep level. One such story I heard
recently brings tears to my eyes every time I think of it.
A mother recounted how she and her two-year-old son were admiring a
parked fire truck. They crossed the street to go about their business,
and then the unthinkable happened. The mother turned and saw her son
running back across the street toward the fire truck and a car barreling
down upon him. The impending accident was certain. It was an endless
moment of anguish, panic, and pain that no mother ever wants to
experience.
“Please God, NO!” was her only thought. Simultaneously with that
thought, she saw an angel swoop down and catapult her son back into her
arms with such force that they both fell backward. They held onto each
other, crying with utter emotional relief as the full impact of what had
happened came to their awareness.
Later that night when she was tucking her son in bed, her son said,
“Mommy, did you see me fly!”
Spectacular stories such as this one warm our hearts and inspire our
faith in miracles. However we have come to believe that the powers of
the Universe are reserved for breathtaking rescues and other deeds of
heroic proportion. What about
smaller, less dramatic needs? Can the powers of the heavens be called
upon to support us in mundane matters of ordinary life?
Open your eyes and you will see evidence on a less-sensational scale
of daily occurrences that are every bit as miraculous. You do have
access to the creative power of the celestial realms—a gift given to
you by the heavens, and one you are expected to use with great joy for
the highest good of all. You must first realize that you are an integral
part of the divine plan of creation, not a bystander but in fact
director of the grand drama of life on this Earthly plain. You can quite
literally “employ” divine assistance to make your every wish a
reality and invite miracles in even the small endeavors of your life.
A simple way to shift your perception of the spiritual world is to
imagine a vast resource pool of eager specialists with every skill and
talent needed to aid us in all aspects of our lives. Imagine an angel
adept at accounting, or proficient at sales, or gifted in diplomacy.
Imagine that an entire staff stands ready to support you in small issues
such as arranging chance meetings, finding lost items, and bringing new
insights. Whether you believe it is help from the angels, from your
higher-self, or simply the power of thought, you can ease the struggle
in your everyday life by tapping into this incredible Universal power.
Last month, my friend Rachel called me, overflowing with excitement
about her most recent experience with enlisting celestial assistance.
Her twelve-year-old son, Logan, had to do a school report on football
star Joe Montana. He had been frustrated finding resource books at the
school library, so Rachel drove him to their local branch library.
Rachel
sat
in the car with her younger daughter while Logan
spent about an hour in the library.
He returned to the car empty-handed and discouraged, having discovered
that all of the Joe Montana books had already been checked out.
Rachel told him not to worry and suggested that he go back into the
library and look around one more time. As he walked away, she closed her
eyes and asked for an angelic homework assistant to help him find
exactly what he was looking for. Just a couple of minutes later, she and
her daughter walked into the library to see how he was doing. She saw
her son standing in the check-out line, holding a wonderful oversized
picture book with the title Montana across the top.
“That’s perfect!” she beamed. “How did you find it so
quickly?”
He whispered, “You won’t believe this, Mom,” and then took her
over to the side. He spoke as if he was a little spooked
,
recounting how he had returned to
the sports section of the library when suddenly a thought appeared in
his mind: “Maybe a book fell behind the shelves.” Something then
compelled him to stick his head right into a space in the racks and look
down.
He continued, “I saw the edge of a book, so I reached down and
pulled this up!”
Logan was completely incredulous, but Rachel was certain it was due
to divine intervention.
What she told me next was so outrageous that I could hardly believe
it myself: When Logan went to check out the book, the librarian at the
counter told him that this book wasn’t even in the library’s
computer system! It appears the spiritual homework assistant had placed
the perfect book there for him, simply for the taking. Now that’s
magic!
The Universe does indeed work in mysterious ways.
