I remember when I just got saved… at this point I had an old and very broken bible that has always been stuffed in the bottom of a closet of my house.
I really wanted a new bible and I wanted a very specific one. I browsed around all the online stores and the one I wanted was so expensive.
So I thought this is something I need but through some confusion on the website I lost the 10% off voucher. However still determined to buy a new bible I thought, let me just wait until the next morning and see if the voucher comes through (I did not have a lot of money at this point in life).
Having made up my mind that I will buy this with or without the voucher, what happened was, the next morning my dad phones me for something completely unrelated. I can’t actually remember what it was but I told him I want to buy this bible. To my surprise my dad said that he had just received a whole box of bibles from someone and I can come and take a look at what is in there.
So I drove over to my parent’s house and as sure as can be inside this box I found an amplified classic (exactly the one I wanted) plus about 3 other epic study bibles. I also found a good news translation that is still one of my favorites.
So now a couple of years later, I am still using all these bibles I found inside of that box, and, have even bought quite a few additional translations.
I thought about this today as I had a very strange incident that was very similar to this. This has reminded me in such a big way that it is God’s plan that rules over my life. By letting go and letting God I have received more on that day than I would have on my own strength or with my own recourses, and as mentioned before, today was just like that. Where I would have gotten just a little bit, God decided to give a lot more.
I had a moment where I thought that even though I prayed before going into this situation, it did not at all go the way I wanted it to go. I felt somewhat disappointed but still trusting God I knew there was a better plan.
I really want to keep this momentum going in my life. Just to fully surrender to God’s will and God’s plan. I am very excited to see where He will take me in this life.
So let me just say: I love You Lord, Your mercies never fails. There is nothing like the goodness of God.
