“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall
give thee the desires of thine heart.”—Psalm 37:4
Christmas was in the air, the family headed to
Virginia Beach from North Carolina to presentour ministry in a local church. The drive was a short
one and when we arrived, Linda asked me to pray
with her concerning a special need. She was asking
the Lord to give her a hundred dollars in order to
buy each family member something for Christmas.
Praying together, we specifically asked the Lord to
supply this need at this church.
We unloaded our equipment and headed into
the church. We set up the display and slide projector.
When my turn came to present our ministry,
I showed our slides and preached a short sermon
before turning the service back to the pastor.
He announced that a love offering was to be collected
to help with our travel expenses. As we prepared
to leave, he handed us an envelope with the
love offering in it. We thanked him and headed to
our vehicle for the trip home. We were almost all
the way to our vehicle when a teenage girl, fifteen
or sixteen years of age, walked up to my wife and
said, “The Lord has impressed upon my heart to
give you this.” With that, she handed Linda some
money and was on her way.
We loaded the equipment and were about to
leave when Linda said, “Let’s see what the young
lady gave me.” We thought perhaps she had given
a few dollars, because most teenagers do not have
much money. When my wife opened her hand, out
rolled five twenty-dollar bills. She cried like a baby.
We had prayed for a specific amount and the Lord
gave exactly what we had prayed for.
Joy to the world!
