Miracle in 48 HOURS!

 The Lord says, “Ask and you shall receive. Knock and the door will be opened for you.â€�

How often have I believed that the Lord answers prayers … for others? The Lord performs miracles … for others? The Lord provides … for others?

How small my faith has been. How focused I have been on earning things from the Lord. How foolish I have been to think that any amount of work I do could ever earn me more than the grace and mercy Christ already provided for me that day on Calvary when He died for my sins.

Nothing in me deserves anything that I have been given, but because my Father in heaven loves to give his children good gifts, I have been blessed beyond measure. Not by anything I have done, only by what the Lord has done for me.

The Lord is my provider. My Jehovah Jireh.

Last week at this time I feared being sent home early from this mission trip. I feared that the Lord would bring me this far only to take it away. I feared that I had not done enough to stay on this trip.

The Lord reminded me last week that nothing I did or nothing I would ever be able to do would earn me His provision for this trip. Whether he provided me with all my finances or whether he provided me with nothing more for this trip, His plan would be done. I would praise him for providing or I would praise him for having a better plan for me back at home. I released my fears to Him last week, and I praised Him for who He was. I praised Him for what He had done, and I praised Him for what He would do.

I checked my support account on Tuesday … no change. I checked my e-mail … two hundred dollars donated. I knew I still had three thousand and three hundred left to raise in two weeks, from Africa. To be honest, I had doubts. Back home it took me months to raise three thousand dollars, and here I was with nothing but e-mail and prayers. The Lord reminded me last week though how powerful and effective my prayers are and He reminded me that He richly supplies all my financial needs!

Thursday … I got on hopeful that I would have a little bit more of a dent in the large number that loomed over my head, but what I didn’t expect was for the Lord to provide $3,250 more dollars since Tuesday … how is that even possible? Oh that’s right, the Lord is in control of all the money in the world and He loves to give good gifts to His children. He listens when I ask him to meet my needs. He provides.

In 48 hours I went from high risk of going home to only needing $50 to meet my deadline!

I went from being unsure if I would finish The World Race to being sure that not only will God meet that $50 need, he will meet my $4,350 need to be FULLY FUNDED. My God provides and my God will continue to provide!

Would you be willing to donate to help me be FULLY FUNDED before I even leave Africa?
