Two of us went to a Christian conference in Stellenbosch for a few days. While we were in the area we decided to visit Cape Town. So, the one day we were heading off to Rondebosch to visit a friend; we decided on taking the train as we weren’t use to riding train; you know, just for the experience. We had no idea how God was in all off this.
There was a train we wanted to catch round about 2pm that afternoon, but we got delayed by the people we were visiting, they made us such a nice meal - so we only got away just before 3pm.
On arrival at Cape Town train station we were literally there just, just in time – the next train was leaving in 5 min to Rondebosch, so we dashed our way from one side to the other side of the station getting to our terminal just in time. We weren’t so sure as to how everything worked so we asked this young guy sitting on a bench whether or not this is the train going to Rondebosch, he said he also was looking for the Rondebosch train and that it must be the one. We greeted him and started searching for open carriages. As we were walking down we could see the guy popping in and out of carriages behind us, then we found our spot and went in, only to see him pop in and sit opposite us moments later.
We started chatting to him and he told us how he was in a band a while back and how he was doing dubstep DJing in the Cape Town area. Also being musicians we clicked immediately and started chatting the whole way to Rondebosch. We started mentioning the things of God, to which he reacted sternly at first, but as we continued and kept on testifying, he started listening. We also prayed a whole lot while all of this was going on. We got to a point where he opened up and shared a bit out of his own life and struggles. We encouraged him and told him a few things we felt were laid on our hearts.
The time flew by so fast and Rondebosch was around the corner. He thanked us for the time we spent and we hugged him goodbye. As we got off the train we were quite, thinking on all that had happened. We prayed and rejoiced, because we could feel the weight of that moment.
We never should have been there… the timing, getting in and out of train carriages, sitting right there in front of us. Yup, it was a God moment! The best of all we had a captive audience (hehe, they couldn’t go anywhere on a moving train). All the people sitting around us were listening.
Wherever you are my man – May God work mightily in you and through you!
Allow God to take even your seemingly mundane, normal everyday life and make something spectacular of it!
