Tremendous Supply

WOW! I woke up this morning, checked my email messages and find that I have a huge deposit in my checking account. I was expecting a bonus, but nothing like this. The amount that was deposited was actually just short of three times what I had anticipated. At the beginning of the year God challenged me to prove Him with my giving. During our missions conference I promised to give almost twice as much as I had previously. It was an amount that I could not afford to give, literally. I had to depend on revenue streams outside of the normal paychecks and although there was plenty of cause for apprehension, I was rather excited about the thing knowing that God WOULD do something and my dependence on Him would increase. In addition to that, he has led me to give an additional amount to a specific ministry in our church.

Through the last several months, people have given me money in small amounts with no prompting from me. Men have walked up and simply handed me money. There's no reason for it. "Just because I appreciate what you do," or "I thought you could use this." What a blessing. I thank them of course, but I praise God for the words they speak when they give it me is as if God himself is saying it!

While praying on Saturday with our men's group, God revealed a need in someones life to me and directed me to give a specific amount of money to that individual. I immediately said yes. It was a very large amount and I don't have it. In order to get it, I planned on selling some things I could easily turn into cash. Plans set, my mind set, the sale would take place in a couple of weeks. This morning I woke up and God has already placed that amount and twice that in my bank account. In other words, It works like this: I was expecting an amount of money to be deposited in my account as a bonus from my job. It would barely cover what I was told to give, and purchase a gift for my wife. God put that in my account, the amount He wants me to give, and just for good measure, that amount again. How's your giving?
