Miracle #5
After just getting laid off of my job, I was laying on my bed in my apartment wondering what I was going to do next. The local steel plant had closed and unemployment was at an all-time high. In previous years, when looking for jobs in the newspaper, there were always 20-30 pages full of jobs. Now, there were just one or two jobs listed. I remember going to apply for a dishwasher job and there were over 400 people applying. The line was all the way around an entire city block.
After laying there for several minutes, I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen to grab something to eat. When I arrived, I noticed I only had one can of green beans and one small serving of Malt-O-Meal left. Next, I did the only thing I knew to do: I walked into the living room, got down on my knees, and began to pray for food.
Just seconds after I began praying there was a knock on the door. I got up, walked a few paces to the door, opened it, and to my surprise there were two bags of groceries laying on the sidewalk in front of my apartment door—and no one standing around. This was around 8:30pm at night.
I picked up the groceries, went back inside my apartment, gave thanks to my Lord and had a good meal!
Put yourself in my shoes:
- • You are on your knees praying for food, just ten feet away from the front door.
- • Ten seconds after you began praying, there's a knock at the door.
- • You get up, answer the door, and find exactly what you had been praying for.
- • All of this took a total of 25-30 seconds!
