Summary: Josh was happily married and had everything going for him. He was in pilot training and was the top of his class! He was in line to be a fighter pilot. One evening, he went out on a date with his wife. His wife was driving and he leaned forward to pick something up off the floor. Suddenly, his wife hit a deer. The passenger side airbag deployed right as he was leaning forward and smashed directly into his eye. Immediately, he was blinded in that one eye. In an instant, Josh’s whole life changed. The top student pilot now had to completely rethink his life’s direction. But, in an amazing display of faith and courage in Jesus Christ, he didn’t become bitter. He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t disillusioned. He just simply stated, “God must have a better plan for me.” Josh is now a very successful intelligence officer serving our country. And, all of his fellow students from pilot school were greatly challenged by his faith in God during that trial. God used Josh’s accident to give him a platform to tell others about Jesus that he never would have had otherwise. The Bible says in the book of Proverbs, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” What is your response when your plans change? If you trust God your Father, you will reach the world with the power of His Holy Spirit.
