Fleas

    Corrie ten Boom and her family were incarcerated by the Nazis in a concentration camp because they had helped Jews. In “The Hiding Place”, Corrie relates that the guards relocated some of the prisoners into a filthy barracks crawling with vermin. Corrie’s sister had the faith to say, “thank You for the fleas.” 

    It turned out that the Nazi guards would not enter the barracks because of the fleas so the prisoners were able to have Bible study there.

    How remarkable that her sister had the faith to say “thank You for the fleas” before she knew this.

    In the Green Letters Miles Stanford states, “Life is meant to bring a succession of discoveries (fleas?) of our need of Christ, and with every such discovery the way is open for a new inflow of the supply.” (Page 28.)

    I yearn to have the faith to say, “Lord, thank You for COVID-19” and wait to see the miracles that only He can do.
