Meeting Our Need
He will meet our need:
In the quiet stillness of this Saturday morning....I write.....
Have you ever had a God moment? I had one yesterday. I was at work and had arranged to meet a girl to sell a pair of shoes I had put on marketplace. I had been trying to catch up with her for about three days and for some unknown reason, things just weren't " working out ".
Yesterday, things finally fell into place as I arranged a public point of contact. I came to the appointed place and time for the meet and waited for her. The time passed and I decided that if she didn't show up soon, I was going to leave and call it quits on the sale. Just as I was about to leave, a text from her came through. " I'll be there in a minute, I don't have a car ". As I looked back in the mirror, I saw her coming up the road. When she came over and we exchanged names, she looked at the shoes and decided they were a bit too small. I apologized profusely and told her how sorry I was that they didn't fit.
After talking with her for a few minutes, I told her even though a sale couldn't work out, I asked her if I could pray for her.
She said yes .....
As we prayed in that parking lot for the Lord to give her favor on her job and protection in her house, her tears began to flow. Bound together as Sisters in Christ, we bonded in that parking lot....
As she stepped away from my van and waived, she threw the money for the shoes through the window. Wiping her eyes as she walked away, sh wouldn't take it back....
God had met my need and as I found out later, he had met hers. She said that she had so needed a lift in Christ. The " Shoe Angel " had come and laid out our path as we walked the road to meet each other's need....
Somehow, I think I'm gonna hold onto those shoes as a reminder that sometimes when we least expect it, God will send Angels to look at shoes that don't fit. He will walk them up the road to meet you, in hopes that you will realize walking with HIM, will BLESS YOU as well as others if you only give it a chance....
Thanking the Lord for small shoes ...
