An Accident or an Incident?

A family who were saved almost a decade ago and went through turmoil in their family life, and the son has just been recovered back to the fellowship after years of straying away from the church life has just went through the experience of admitting his mother in the hospital after she met with an accident yesterday, and I am here in the ICU visiting and praying for them. This is the family the church has been praying for, and personally I have the burden to visit them as much as I could. 

There may be a couple ways to interpret this case, but one thing for sure, the Lord has heard our prayer and this, perhaps, is a part of the answer. Not the accident per se, but the Lord's sovereignty in allowing things to happen so as to gain them for Himself, especially the sister who has gradually been trying to avoid the saints. Now it is a fellow member visiting visiting them whom she has been trying to avoid all these years. Sometimes, it takes a blow to be awakened from spiritual slumber. And the Lord is sovereign over all. 

Still considering and praying as to how to shepherd this family. I feel best to be with them for now and see in what ways practical help can be rendered. Words are not the remedy for this accident, just being with them in time of need is the best at the moment. As the need arises, helping them in the humanity of Jesus is the best way now. 

This accident I do not reckon it as one, but an incident to meet God face to face once again and be gained for Him completely. For there is no accident in life for the saints; even if there is one in reality, it is an incident to gain Christ. Come what may, in whatever circumstances, learn Christ, experience Christ and gain Christ. 

I only pray that this will turn out to their salvation and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ be upon this family.

Lord, heal my sister and grace my brother to experience You deeply and richly. May this accident be an incident unto the gaining of Christ.
