CAN YOU LITERALLY ... STAND ON THE BIBLE? Anne was an out-of-work actress, a single mom, with a young son. But, she was at the edge of FINANCIAL DESPAIR. Bills were piling up and she couldn’t get a job. [Option - you can WATCH this story here: hulu/watch/141338#i4,p0,d2] Sitting at the kitchen table, she tallied what she owed: $550 for rent. $44 for electricity. $31 for phone (service about to be shut off service) The total was $625. “Where am I going to get that?” she thought. According to her checkbook, she had ONLY 24 DOLLARS. She knew the bible told her to have faith and to, “ASK, BELIEVE AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.” But that’s hard to do when you’re about to lose the house! Then, the words of her grandmother rose up in her mind: “You can STAND ON THE WORD, my dear.” She thought about that for a moment … then, took the Bible from the shelf, laid it on the floor, and as grandma suggested ... SHE STOOD ON IT. “Ok God, I am standing on your word ... and asking for help!” She stepped off the bible and left to run errands. At the post office, she received her first GODWINK: there were two envelopes in the mail. One was a residual check for an old commercial she’d done, $310 … the other was a $75 refund check from a college admissions deposit for her son. It didn’t make up the $625 she needed … but … Anne was elated and took them right to the bank. She mentioned to the girl behind the window that she had a balance of $24 dollars. But … ANOTHER GODWINK … the teller shook her head. “You’re mistaken,” she said, “you must have left off a zero … you had $240.” The teller smiled, and handed Anne her deposit slip … with a balance of exactly $625. JUST WHAT SHE NEEDED! Wow … God winks in the nick of time. •••• This will interest YOU. Anne later told me that at her point of desperation, another thought ran through her head: “When Jesus is all you have, Jesus is all you need.” You AGREE? Good wishes and godwinks. SQuire
