“During the night an angel of the
Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. “Go, stand in
the temple courts,” he said,
“and tell the people all about this new life.”
(Acts 5:19-20 NIV)
The
director of a local university called me two weeks before I was scheduled to
teach a class. He said, “Unfortunately, you don’t have the qualifications for the
upcoming class you agreed to teach.”
“You need
a Master’s degree in Computer Science instead of your MBA degree. But, we might
be able to skip that requirement with a letter from your alma mater’s
department-head stating that he would hire you as an instructor, if given the opportunity.”
I gave him
permission to call the dean of the Accounting department and let me know what
he said. Would I still have a job?
I hung up
the phone, dropped to my knees, and gave it to God. I knew He was in this. It crossed
my mind later in the day, but I obediently gave it back to Him and tried not to
worry.
Later that
same day the director called to say he’d spoken to the department head at my alma
mater. Not only was my former dean willing to write a letter of recommendation
for me, he currently had an opening for an instructor and would consider hiring
me.
The local director
went on to say, “When we have an MBA program, I hope you will be available to
teach those classes.”
I will
thank God for every door He opens today. I hope you will, too!
