“The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He grants the desire of those who fear Him. He hears their cry and saves them.” S1451819
A few weeks ago I went out to buy some things for the office with the pastor. They were for some baskets that are given to the older people in the church. Well, on that trip I wasn’t thinking of buying anything personal, but I had been saying for days that I would buy a basket for my child’s room, but I couldn’t find one that fit where I wanted it, and that day I found one at a reasonable price. Well, to my surprise, when it was time to pay, I paid for the office stuff and was trying to get the difference out of my wallet to pay for my own when the owner told me in Chinese and with sign language, because I don’t understand Mandarin, that it was fine with what I had already paid. I told him in Spanish, “Wait, I still owe you some!” and the pastor said, “It seems like he’s giving it to you as a gift.” and I smiled because I know it was from Him.
It was His gift to me, He is like that just when we think that He has forgotten or is not listening to us, He sends us signs reminding us that He is there at every step, every stage and that even though sometimes we do not notice it, He never abandons us and always knows how to surprise us in a way that we know that it was Him.
“The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. He grants the desire of those who fear him. He hears their cry and saves them.”Psalm 14518-19
