God Our Provider

My wife and I were at a vendor event and I was thirsty so I said I'm going to grab a water from the Family Dollar that was across the road. It was a beautiful sunny day and the vendor event was about to open. So I made my way across the street and into the store making a quick dash toward the water aisle. As I made my way past a couple of aisles I seen a $20 bill on the floor. I picked it up and not wanting to keep it because it wasnt mine; I prayed something to the effect of "Please God show me who could use this."

Now looking back I realised there was a line at the checkout when I had walked in and was there still when I found the $20 bill and picked out my bottle of water. There was a couple with a young kid at the register looking to get some groceries and their credit/debit card kept getting declined, no matter how many times they tried it. They were obviously discouraged because they couldn't buy anything. The Lord had shown me who this found $20 bill was for! I could not believe that it had happen that quickly.

As the family was leaving the store, I set my water down, hopped out of line and ran up to them and handed them the $20 and said "I believe this is for you from the Lord!". They were stunned, there mouths dropped. The gentleman said "Oh my Lord!" and the lady said "God bless you!" as I made my way back to the checkout line.

Dear friends, when things seem dire, I know some times it is hard in the waiting, but rest assured God is there always.

Psalm 23:4

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; 

For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
