"For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy way."
Psalms 91:11
Prayers of God's people, promises of God and protection by God...all used to glorify His name as the defining moment approaches. Only one mission station had installed an Automatic Direction Finder, a navigation instrument. Dale had installed the receiver for the ADF in his cockpit as an emergency option. He radioed the mission station requesting them to activate the beacon. Static on the radio made it difficult to hear but he thought they responded. He proceeded to turn on his receiver. Immediately, it responded! Testing it briefly by changing directions, Dale had confidence it would lead him to the mission station and the airstrip. Pilots must trust their instruments and that trust was rewarded. The ADF directed Dale exactly to the mission station and then to the airstrip! Unloading his one passenger, cargo and mail, everyone asked why he was late! Too numb to reply, Dale hopped in a vehicle for the ride to the station He thanked the missionary for turning on the beacon. His response -- they had not turned it on!!!! When Dale had informed them of his ETA, they immediately departed for the 20 minute ride to the airstrip. The beacon was locked up and NO ONE but a missionary had a key to unlock the building and activate it. They were all at the airstrip!!! Who turned on that beacon????? Only...God!!!!! Thank you, Lord!!!
