Topics: Provision, Faith, Giving 

I had been on vacation spending the Christmas holidays with my family in Mississippi. As many of us like to do around the Christmas holidays, I had splurged a little on gifts and helping my family out financially.

Prior to going on vacation, my children and I had just moved onto the Air Force Base. In little more than a week after returning to my duty station in Colorado (in the military), I had to go on temporary duty to England. This all took its toll financially, but I had faith that the Lord would see me through. Upon my return from temporary duty, I resumed my weekly duty as a Sunday school teacher with another brother in Christ. On this particular Sunday, after we had finished teaching our class he said that he had something for me. He said that the Lord had placed upon his heart to bless me. He proceeded to hand me $300.00!

I was totally shocked! I told him "I can't accept this!" He said to me "Take this blessing, this is what the Lord has placed on my heart to give you, don't hinder HIS blessing!" I finally accepted, with a little reservation. Three days passed and I received my pay statement, to my disbelief, my paycheck was much less than it should have been.

Because I had moved on base, my housing allowance had been taken out of my paycheck in a lump sum! That lump sum was about $15 less than $300.00 ($285). All I could do was to say "PRAISE GOD!" HE knew what my needs would be even before I asked him! If I had been stubborn and hindered my blessing, I would have experienced tremendous financial difficulty! Praise God for that brother being obedient to the Holy Spirit!

We serve a God who is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent! The bible says "For your Father knows what you need before you ask Him." (MATT 6:8) Miracles still happen in this day and age, every know and them He gives us just a little touch, to let us know HE is in control and right by our side! HIS Love to you!
