On the way home from work this afternoon, it dawned on me I had put $250.00 ( 2 100's and a 50) in my uniform shirt pocket and had forgotten about it. I know, DUH. Anyway, I reached in to retrieve it and it wasn't there. Oh yeah I thought, I had changed shirts, then it dawned on me I had also done my laundry and probably washed the bills. I fully expected to find the clean money still inside one of my uniform shirt pockets as they have flaps with velcro fasteners. As soon as I got home, I checked and rechecked my shirts and couldn't find the $. I'll spare you the details of the search and suffice it to say I looked everywhere I could imagine, using a flashlight to be certain I didn't overlook it laying somewhere.
After 45 minutes of this, I realized I had not prayed about it. Knowing from a very similar esperience several years ago that prayer does in fact work miracles with even small requests, I immediately found a quiet place and prayed. After the prayer I was unusally confident I would find the money and simply tried to let God lead me to it. Within less than 5 minutes I had found it on the floor underneath the corner of my bed. Here is the good part: While looking else where, I kept getting the thought to look exactly there. I continued to search through my folded clothes but the thought kept coming to me. Finally, I took my light and got on my knees again and there it was. Every once in a while I will hang my shirt on the bedpost and it slides down on the bed post every once in awhile when I do it. At the time I did not recall doing it, but obviously had done so.
Now folks, for me, there is absolutely NO doubt God led me to this find, and the refered to other find was even more of a miracle, but I will spare you that one.
Deduct from this as you wish, but it is proof positive for me that God cares about your little trials as much as He does your big ones.
