The dear pastor reminisced, And amazingly, His mind is still sharp at 95. He was a seminary student, He said, and his Wife was expecting their First child. The doctor's fee was Eighty dollars, a huge sum For them, Back then. What could they do, but pray? And others prayed for them too. When the envelope Came in the mail, The young dad-to-be gave it To his wife to open. He sensed what was Inside. The check for $80 had been Sent out before The faithful had even prayed. Today, as the aged man shared his Story, his face lit up. Mine lit up too. God met his need at the Beginning of his Ministry, and all the years since. (He still teaches a men's Bible study.) Seeing God's faithfulness in This pastor's life, Buoyed my faith too. God knows my need Before I think to Ask. And even when His answer Doesn't quite Agree with mine. His is always right, And always right On time. |
