Surprised by God…

 “If you,then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!”-Matthew 6:11

 You ever have those times where God reaches down and hugs you.
  It’s as if you say out loud, “God loves ME, God loves me.”
  This morning I was thinking about God as my Father and if He could give His son, the most precious thing to Him, why would He withold something simple like money for Africa.  He delights in giving to His children when they seek, knock, and ask.
We as a team are seeking, knocking, and asking…

  I am in GA this week for training and we decided to go to church on Sun. I called up one of my friends who lives in GA and asked her to meet me there.
  During the sermon the pastor talked about God calling people to give $1000 toward missions and that it would be a sacrifice but they would never miss that money.
  My friend leans over with tears in her eyes and says your team was heavy on my heart and God told me to write $1000 check this morning.
  What the pastor said was confirmation and it blessed her to hear God’s voice and sow into His kingdom. 
 

It blessed me that God spoke to me earlier that HE delights in giving and He used her in a tangible way to say “I know your need even before you ask.”

  He orchestrated me coming to GA this week, calling my friend, hearing that sermon, and receiving from Him.
  HE cares about the details of our lives and loves me enough to delight in giving to me- when I ask for bread He will not give a stone.
