One morning
a little girl said to her grandmother, “Grandmother, what shall we do this
morning since we have nothing for breakfast?” “Well” said the grandmother, “we
will light the fire, put on the kettle, set the table, and tell our Heavenly
Father. Even if He turns stones into
bread, we will have our breakfast.” Soon,
there came a knock at the door. It was a
man who had a need. “Excuse me, but
would you happen to have a grindstone that I could purchase for my
business? I am desperate need of one.” The grandmother pointed the man to the shed
and he bought the stone for ten dollars.
“Let us kneel down again,” said the grandmother, “and give thanks to our
Heavenly Father and then we will walk down to the shop and buy food for
breakfast.” On that day, indeed the Lord
turned a stone into bread. God still
sees. He hears our prayers. He is ready, willing, and able to meet our
every need. He does not always meet our
expectations…He exceeds them every time.
“And
whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do
those things that are pleasing in His sight” – 1 John 3:22
“You lust
and do not have. You murder and covet
and cannot obtain. You fight and
war. Yet, you do not have because you do
not ask” – James 4:2
“Now to Him
who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Jesus
Christ to all generations, forever and ever.
Amen” – Ephesians 3:20-21
