In his day, Charles Betts Galloway was regarded as “the best-known and most influential personality in the Methodist world.” He was a celebrated bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America.
Yet, his life story is a reflection of God’s amazing grace.
Charles Betts Galloway was born in 1849 to a father who was a successful doctor. As a young boy, Charles wanted to drop out of school and become a prizefighter. When his father objected to his plans, Charles ran away from home. He stowed away on a train, went to another town, and joined a carnival.
After several months, he wanted to move on to another town and tried to stow away on another train. But as he jumped into an open boxcar in the moving train, he had no proper grip to haul himself up, and his body began sliding down to fall out of the train. If he slipped out, he would either fall beneath the train’s wheels or plummet down a nearby steep canyon to his death.
Terrified at his predicament, he closed his eyes and cried out to God to save him. Only seconds away from falling to death, he opened his eyes and saw a man standing inside the train who quickly reached down and pulled him up into the speeding boxcar.
Charles lay face down for several seconds, trying to catch his breath. When he looked up to thank the man, he saw no one. The man had vanished. He could not find the man anywhere. Shivering with shock, Charles repented of his rebellion and decided to go back home. When he got home and told his parents about the man on the train, they concluded it must have been an angel.
Charles returned to school and later became a licensed preacher who greatly impacted many lives.
God indeed does answer the cry of those who call upon Him in distress.
God is always our way-maker and barrier-breaker, even in the midst of situations that seem impossible.
Despite the raging storm, He works behind the scenes to create a way to escape for us.
Isaiah 43:2 makes it clear that when we pass through the water and the fire, we are never alone.
In the seemingly negative circumstances, God not only delivers us but works out His higher purpose in our lives.
For all the goodness and mercies of God, we ought to always be grateful. His praise should continually be on our lips. Indeed, if we can think, we can thank.
Nothing should hinder the flow of our praise to God.. No matter what challenge we may face, there’s always a reason for us to be grateful.
Today, let us take time to deliberately praise God for all His blessings, known and unknown. As we do so, certainly, God will do greater things for us; He will cause us to experience, higher levels of breakthroughs, exploits, promotions and exceptional blessings..
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for always being there for me and answering when I call upon You.
I know that even right now, You are working all things together for my good in Jesus Name.
