Our Provider

Yesterday I was talking with a client and he said to me, “I had something really neat happen the other day.” To which I replied, “tell me about it.”

He said, “the other day this lady came over from Indy to shop my store, and somehow I ended up talking to her about church. I told her about how I help feed the kids on Wednesday night. And I told her about how we have this ministry that helps out single moms by providing them cars to drive.” He said, “I don’t know what happened, but as I was telling her these things, I started to cry.” He said, “I never do that.”I said, “you know what happened, God showed up.” He said, “yeah, you’re right, but it gets even better. Before she left, she gave me a car to give to our ministry!”

As I left there I thought, Wow! All God goes through to help ONE person, you know what I mean? He brought the lady from Indy. Laid it on my friend’s heart to start talking about that particular ministry, and probably all because God knew of one single mom that needed a vehicle. He knows the lady that has an extra car, and he knows the lady that needs a car…and he provides.

I work with a lady who goes to the same church (I think) and she's always sharing amazing stories about these two programs - "feeding the children" and single moms. I wonder how many opportunites we miss because we're not listening to God - or worse yet, listening but not obeying.
