All along the Appalachian Trail people from the local communities will reach out to the traveling hikers and help them in a variety of ways. They’ll leave food along the trail, they’ll offer rides for hikers, they’ll pay for their meals at a restaurant or offer them some other assistance as needed. The hikers refer to these unexpected moments of help as “Trail Magic”.
Isn’t is amazing when God allows unexpected help to come our way. The card of encouragement, the word of wisdom, the Bible verse just when we need it. It’s not magic of course – it’s the help we need, just when we need it.
This walk of life would be all the more difficult if it were not for the people that God sends our way just as we need it. Scripture reminds us that we are “one body, fitly joined together”. We need each other. The importance of church fellowship cannot be overstated.
