Do Not Disturb!, by Alan Smith
I promise, I've got nothing against blondes or flight attendants!
However, this story was too rich to pass up and it fits perfectly with
our thought for today!
An airline captain was assigned a new blonde flight attendant. The
first route they were flying had a stay-over in another city. Upon
their arrival, the captain showed the flight attendant the best
places for airline personnel to eat, to shop, and to stay
overnight.
The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's
route, he noticed the new flight attendant was missing. He knew
which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what
happened to her.
She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of
her room. "You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why
not?"
The flight attendant replied, "There are only three doors in here,"
she sobbed. "One is the bathroom door, one is the closet door, and
one has a sign on the handle that says, 'Do Not Disturb'!"
Have you ever felt you didn't have access to God through the avenue of
prayer because there's a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on His door? If
there's one there, you can be sure God didn't put it there. Access is
always available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask
anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14)
