Romans 8:32
The Voice (VOICE)
32 If He did not spare His own Son, but handed Him over on our
account, then don’t you think that He will graciously give us all
things with Him?
I was walking through a library book sale yesterday. To my delight
I found three volumes of a six volume stamp catalog series that I have wanted
to get. Instead of $120 each that is the price for new ones, these were older
and only $1 each. I looked around to see if I could find the other three. With
something like 10,000 books of all kinds on sale, I had no luck. So I purchased
the three and took them out to the car.
Then with a prayer in my heart I decided I would have one
more look. All of a sudden in a pile of books I had looked at several times
before I discovered the missing volumes and a specialized catalog. I rejoiced
and praised the Lord. I got the equivalent of $840 of catalogs for $7.
Several years ago we were driving through a part of Africa
where crime was extremely prevalent, and it was getting close to nightfall. Naturally
we prayed for a safe place to stay. We had just found out that there was a
special conference going on in town, so all of the resorts and hotels were
already full. We asked a clerk at a tire store if he knew where we might stay. “Wait
a minute!” he replied and disappeared. He came back in five minutes and handed
us a phone number. It was for a resort not two miles south of us that had a vacancy.
Is anything too trivial to bother God with?
Thank You, Lord, that
You are just as interested in supplying a one dollar catalog as a life saving
place to sleep.
