God was in Alabama today

So a friend calls me today totally excited. This person was completely blown away by God's Faithfulness towards his family today. My friend had a need. He needed God to move on his behalf. What blows me away is that my friend put himself in a position to experience God. He trusted God. He waited on God. He believed in God. Remember, Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness. My friend knew that God would act on his behalf. My friend, father of two, knew, he could count on his Heavenly Father to meet his need just as much as his family counts on him.

What happened? My friend had a financial need. He checked the mailbox daily. He knew something was going to happen. Today, as he reached in, he found a random check from his insurance company. Some would see it as chance, luck, or a coincidence. He saw the answer to his prayers.

"For The Eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him."
2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV

As I was speaking to him, I remembered a story I heard a preacher tell. He said "Someone once asked me, "Preacher, blessings seem to always be falling in your lap"". His reply was "I just try to put my lap where blessings are falling".

The moral of the story is that you need to put yourself in position to receive from God. Posture yourself in that manner. Wait on The Lord. Don't be foolish and blow all your money and wait for God to bail you out, but rather, be obedient. Stand on His word. Wait for Him.

Some people experience God. Sadly, others never experience Him move on their behalf. They hear about God, but He never becomes real to Him. Which do you want?
