No Comments Aldi Novel Adilang
I just watched a fifteen-minute video of the rescue at sea of Aldi Novel Adilang, a nineteen-year-old man who had been adrift at sea for forty-nine days. I don’t usually watch videos that have no immediate “message”. Here was a Panamanian ship coming to the rescue of an Indonesian young man. It was a reminder of what is really important in life and puts the drama of present events into perspective.
While adrift he read the Bible, he prayed, and his God answered. Maybe we should do that same thing as we are adrift in this life. We as people have lost our mooring; we’re away from God.
Panamanian men saving an Indonesian man in a seemly hopeless situation, that is the story of the good Samaritan. This was an encouraging way to start the day. There are still good people doing good things every day. I thank God for this story. God does answer prayer; Aldi Novel Adilang is alive today because he didn’t give up on God. Don’t give up on God.
