Six Hundred Dollars
After Rob left work, it was only a short time before we had only $35 remaining, and no income. That day, Friday, I worked out that by Monday we needed $600 to pay the overdue mortgage payment, overdue power bill and buy some food. I prayed, “Lord, you said you would provide - what do we do now?”. The reply I got was “Give your $35 away”!
Wow! This was a whole new territory for us! With Rob’s agreement, I gave the $35 away, dividing it between two charities I had literature for on my desk, and mailing the cheques on Saturday. All weekend I was praying “Oh Lord, please show us we’re not crazy! Please provide!”
We did not tell anyone of our situation - the Lord had impressed upon us early in this adventure that our finances were between Him and us - when he provided, it would be for His glory alone.
On Sunday morning, we attended church. Afterwards, we found enough loose change in our car to buy a loaf of bread for lunch, so we stopped at the local supermarket on the way home. As we came out of the supermarket, the treasurer from our church was just entering. She said “Oh, I’m glad I bumped into you. When I was totalling up the offering this morning, I found an envelope with “please give this to Rob and Cindy Hancox” written on it, but you had left before I could catch you. Here it is.” and she handed us the envelope. In it was $600 in cash!! Praise the Lord!
And so began our lessons in God’s miraculous provision, and in trusting in the Lord will all of our hearts!
