Verse:Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. —Psalm 37:4, NIV
During the annual meetings at the office where I work, two very special books were distributed to committee members.
One was given on a Friday, and another one on Saturday.
These two books meant a lot to me, and I was very eager to get a copy of each. I asked one of our administrative assistants if there were any extra copies left over, and she informed me that there were none.
I prayed about this matter, and I had the idea to go to the auditorium where they were having the meetings to see whether anyone might have left their copy at the material distribution center. It was the last day of the meetings.
I went to the auditorium and asked the person at the distribution center to save me a copy of the books if they found copies left behind anywhere in the auditorium. After I talked to the person, I went and sat in the center of the last row to listen to some of the presentations. After I sat down, I noticed right in front of me on the floor was a pile of handout materials that someone had left.
No one was sitting in front of me. They appeared to be left behind and unwanted. A thought came to me to check the pile, and I did. And guess what! Both the books that I was longing to have were in the pile! I just couldn’t believe it since these two books were distributed four days earlier. What were the odds of my finding them together right in front of me after all these days? I was so excited that I could not even believe my eyes! I immediately thanked God for hearing my simple prayer and giving me the two books that I desired to have! After the meetings were over, two ladies went through the auditorium and picked up all the materials that were left behind and found not a single copy of either of these books. My God placed these two books right in front of me in answer to my prayer! We serve and worship an awesome God, and yes, there’s nothing that our Almighty God cannot do, and He will do the same for you!
