Hold On (1)

A few weeks ago, hubby and I went on a vacation to France. We transited through Heathrow airport. Upon arrival in France, so many of us were missing some luggage. Upon inquiry, we were told that some luggage was still in Heathrow, and would come on the next flight. Some people were distraught, since it was a long flight and everyone was exhausted. Others were anxious, angry, etc. There were a myriad of emotions.

There was one lady who caught my eye. She was unusually calm amidst everyone else’s anxiety. I asked her why she was so calm, she told me she had Airtags on her luggage, and she had tracked her luggage via her AirTag, and she knew her luggage was in France. There was another lady, who said she tracked her luggage using her AirTags as well, and those were in Heathrow.

True to the first AirTag lady’s word, a few minutes later, we heard the conveyor belt and some luggage came out! Apparently, the conveyor belt was broken, and the luggage was there all this while. So, the first AirTag lady was right!

Her luggage was indeed in France.

As life always has it, not everyone’s luggage came out. So the second AirTag lady was also right – some pieces of luggage was still in Heathrow. We were part of the Heathrow luggage crew, so we waited. Sure enough, our luggage came on the next flight.

My takeaway were the two ladies who had tracked their luggage’s via AirTag. Their confidence was unmatched. They knew, without a shadow of doubt, that once the AirTag had said their luggage was in France or Heathrow, their luggage was there. No matter what anyone else said.

“And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I know the year is coming to an end, and you probably have unanswered prayers, and plans that didn’t come to fruition.But I have a question for you. What has God said? What has He promised you? Hold on to it. Regardless of what else is happening around you, or what anyone says, have the confidence of the AirTag ladies – once God has said it, it shall come to pass!

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Another take away is that: whether the luggage was in France or Heathrow, at the end of the day, we all got our luggage within a couple of hours. It was a reminder that life isn’t always a race.

Remain blessed,
