Before We Can Ask Or Think

This is one of those God-things. A serendipity. A gracious intervention of the positive kind.

Ever since my laptop crashed in Germany right before going on Home Assignment, I have been looking to replace it with a new one. However, new laptops are not that cheap. Especially a new Mac. So, I delayed making any decision. I would go online and choose one and get all the way to the point of clicking to pay for it and then back all the way out. This happened multiple times.

Then, ths week, I knew I needed to get one before Nyack's semester started, so I bit the bullet and ordered one, unsure of where the money was going to come from. Right after I clicked "Buy," and breathed a nervous sigh, I checked my email. One of the messages was from the NAtional Office indicating that a church had given a large sum of money to our Work Specials that would just cover the amount of the laptop!

In the grand scheme of things, this is a small matter. But to me, at this time, it was huge. God is so faithful. He is calling to us to cross our Red Seas. He is willing to part the seas if we will take the first step. I was so pumped! Still am.

How about you? Is God waiting for you to take a first step of faith in some area? Let me tell you, He can be trusted.
