God honors faithfulness

Well its been a while. So to start this post I first want to say thank you to all who read it on occasion. I have yet to see anyone's post or comments so don't be shy. Now let me start by saying that this is in no way tooting my own horn. This is all for the glorifying of God. I was just thinking how God looks after us when we're faithful. Sometimes God puts tests in our path to see how we'll respond. I think if you'll view life from this prospective then the trials of life will be just a little more meaningful. We've never had much money and there was a short time when I was in between jobs a couple of years ago. Now I didn't say I was poor just never had much money.....there is a difference. I've always been very blessed and rich beyond belief....just not money wise. So with bills bearing down and no income we prayed for enough money to pay the light bill. There seems to be a life lesson and re-occurring theme among all my posts......we always use prayer as a last resort...shameful. Anyway we prayed for the money to pay the light bill. The next Sunday at church there was an envelope in our mailbox. It had a nice little note in it and said "God laid it on my heart to give you this" but it wasn't signed. Of course we had told no one about being in need so we both just looked at each other in disbelief and started to cry. It wasn't enough to cover the light bill, it was more than enough. One little prayer with a quick answer just for my spiritual growth. Who am I that the creator of the universe would take time to be so personal with? Better yet who are we that He would come down from glory and suffer and die for?God has never been more real to me than He is today. Psalms 8::3-4 / 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18
