“Let me think back. What was I looking for in the garage? Oh, yes, information on the events that led up to my dad’s death. It was suspicious to me so I went to retrieve some boxed files he had been working on recently. My dad, Robert Wadsworth, was an attorney and I was his partner. Hmm? There are only a few people who know that I am pursuing this.”
“There are footsteps. I pretend to be still out of it.”
“I know you are awake. The drug I gave you wore off thirty minutes ago.”
“You killed my father!”
“No, my associate did.”
“Where have you taken me?”
“We are in a secluded cabin where no one will think of looking.”
“If it is so secluded then why do you have me in shackles? It isn’t likely I can run if I don’t have any idea where I am.”
“I will undo them, but I warn you not to try anything funny Marsha. They will go right back on if you do.”
“Meanwhile, in my head, I kept repeating a bible verse, “Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.” (Psalms 54:4 NASB)
“I asked my abductor if I could have some water and something to eat. I had no idea what time it was, but I was thirsty and knew I needed sustenance if I was going to survive this situation. I also needed to use the facilities. Unfortunately, it was an outhouse. Going outside did give me a chance to take in the surroundings. I heard a stream in the distance and a plan started to work in my heart.”
“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.”
(Jeremiah 29:11 NASB)
“My abductor was on the phone and I heard him speaking to someone named Keith. The name sounded familiar. Hmm?”
“I had to put a plan into action. Tomorrow someone is bound to miss me if they haven’t already. I know my brother Sam was supposed to come by around eleven in the morning and if I’m not there he will know something is up. In the morning I will try to escape to the stream and follow it till I reach an inhabited area. Right now it is time to pray and get some rest.”
“What are you whispering about over there?”
“Just praying.”
“You really believe in that hogwash.”
“Of course. It is what gets me through every ordeal in life.”
“So you think your God will help you now?”
“I do.”
“Good luck with that.”
““And my God shall supply all your (my) needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 NASB) This was my answer.”
“I haven’t seen your so-called god answer any of my needs. All I ever get is knocked around.”
“Tell me your name and what happened. I do know the law.”
“Your father is dead. I didn’t do it. Keith took it into his own hands to take him out and told me to grab you.”
“You can turn state's evidence and be put in protective custody.”
“You would do that for me? Even after all this?”
“I believe in second chances just like God did for me. You see Jesus took my sins upon Himself when He went to the cross. He became our sacrifice so that we could live.”
“Will he do the same for a sinner like me?”
“Yes. Here let me show. I showed Steve Romans 10:9. What do you think Steve? Do you want to give your heart to Jesus?”
“Steve began to cry and at that moment he became a new person in Christ.”
“Steve said we better high tail out of here before Keith shows up. I know a shortcut. Just as we took the bend around the cabin we saw Keith’s headlights. It was a narrow escape.”
“God’s plan was so much better than mine. Steve was able to start a whole new life with a new name, but more importantly he is a new creation. Keith on the other hand had a new life in Federal prison. You reap what you sow.”
