As a college professor, I’m allowed a campus parking pass. When I bought a new car over a year ago, however, I never stopped by campus security to pick up a new parking pass.
In fact, on the first day of class this semester, I left a handwritten note on the dashboard when I parked. The note read: “Professor Larry Enis, . . . Will get a new pass.”
But even though I planned on getting the new pass, I didn’t feel like stopping by campus security after class that day—or the next day, or the next day, or the next day.
So, what did I do? I kept placing the bootleg note on the dashboard. But a few weeks ago, I forgot my bootleg note.
When I returned to my car after class, there was a ticket on my car.
Therefore, I suddenly felt motivated to stop by campus security to get a new parking pass that day. When I arrived at campus security, I told them about the ticket and explained my situation. They gave me a new pass, and I returned to my car.
But just before I opened my car door, I realized that I left the ticket on the officer’s desk.
When I reentered the building, I informed the officer that I had forgotten the ticket. She told me, “Don’t worry about the ticket. I took care of it.”
Just as this officer took care of my situation, time and time again, God has taken care of your situation.
