I had a great day today at work. I invited the Lord to come with me today as you all know that I regularly do. Well He helped me today and there's nothing else that could really explain it except it was the Lord. I go to a customers house for a no heat situation and I prayed on the way over there that I would have what it takes to fix it on my truck, so I wouldn't have to run for parts. Many times the supply house has to order the new part. But we're supposed to get 9" of snow this weekend and bitter cold temperatures. If I ask for the Lord's help, I can fix it today for the customer, which makes the customer happy, I look good to the customer, the company looks good to the customer, and I would look good to the company...and the Lord would get the glory for it, so it's win/win/win when the Lord goes too.

These modern furnace control boards have an LED light which flashes different codes that tell us tech's what failed on the furnace. So I get to to this house and it's flashing a code which indicates that the pressure switch is bad. Suddenly it just popped into my head the thought that, this computer board is lying. The pressure switch is not bad but the computer board is bad...pretty weird huh? These diagnostic codes on the boards are usually right. I have seen it happen only one other time that the board gave up the wrong code. Only once. So it was kind of a weird thought to have. But it persisted in my mind. The customer was right there watching me. I told him, the boards diagnostic code says the pressure switch is bad, but I don't believe it, I think it's the board itself.

The customer was very skeptical of my diagnosis. He believed it was the (cheaper) pressure switch. SO I did a quick of the pressure switch to make him feel better...but somehow I just knew it was the board. I did not have a new control board on my truck, so had to go get one. It was in stock, which is sort of a miracle in itself, lol. I went back and went downstairs, and he followed me right downstairs too. I changed the board and finished and turned and said to him, the moment of truth...and he nodded. I could tell that he did not expect it to work when I flipped the switch...but it purred to life so fast and pretty...I was right! the board was bad and gave a wrong diagnostic code.

On my way home, I thought about it and realized that had to be the Lord which put that thought in my head that the board was lying. It was not a logical train of thought to have when troubleshooting. It was out of procedure and not the norm in any way. I said, that was you wasn't it Lord? and I felt the peace come over me which confirmed it. He does that to me quite a bit.

Ok so I didn't have the part on the truck like I asked for...but it was in stock and I got it fixed. The Lord already knew what was wrong so it played out like it did. And that customer...he about flipped with joy when I was right and it worked and fixed it. He found that pretty incredible that I knew the board was lying. Any lesser tech would still be fiddling with the pressure switch is what he said. So he's very happy with me and the company and said if he has any other problems in the future he will sure call us because that was impressive to him.
but...it was the Lord, it was the LORD! Glory to God for going to work with me today and helping me!
