No Room at the Inn? Now what?

We have had to go to the front desk each morning to see if a room would be available for us for the next night's stay. This morning, the hotel clerk said, "Sorry, we are full." So, Bill and I went back to our room to pray and see what instructions we could receive from God. We both got the same instructions which was to go to "Little America" -a huge hotel complex.


When we arrived at "Little America," I went to the front desk to make reservations. "I'm sorry, we are full," said the clerk.


I told Bill what the clerk had said and we both stood there in a quandry. Didn't we hear God correctly? Did we both hear wrong? We went outside the hotel and sat down on a bench wondering what to do next.


After awhile I said, "Go ask them again, give them our phone number in case a room becomes available." He wasn't gone long and returned with a huge grin.


"You got us a room?"
"Yes!' still bearing a huge grin. "They had a cancellation and had 2 rooms available, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. I took the first floor."


"For how many nights?"
"Five."


God is teaching us to listen, to step out in faith, to NOT lose faith, and to trust him. It's no accident that 2 rooms suddenly opened up. God knows exactly what he is doing!


In His Steps Growing in Faith,
