This story is from Samuel, a participant in Cohort 2 of the Listening to God Course.

We were deciding on flights for our journey to our holiday destination. Taking the earlier flight would mean less chance of a missed connection in case of a delay. But the earlier flight would also mean a longer wait in the airport—not easy with our two little girls. The later flight entailed a much shorter wait time, but was risky because a delayed first flight would mean an overnight wait in the capital city before we could get to our destination.

My wife and I decided to listen to God about this. I received the impression that we should take the later flight. But after talking some more, we decided on the safer option, and so we booked the earlier flight. The next day the airline called. The earlier flight was cancelled and so they put us on the later flight. The Lord knew all that in advance and he did tell me.

Listening to God is easy, but usually his voice calls us to take a step of faith.
