Challenged by the Impossible

Somewhere along the way on my journey through life, I came to understand the concept of believing God to meet our material needs. I've seen Him provide for my family of 9 several times and often in very big ways. But I have to admit that it's often hard to justify asking for really big things, especially those with deadlines, and especially those that are more like "wants" than "needs."

So although I knew that God could provide us with $5,000 for a recent project, I just didn't have the faith to ask. Then I heard some stories of other people asking openly and that increased my faith. So I asked God for what I thought was an impossible amount with an impossible deadline. But you know what God can do! And He loves to be challenged by the impossible!

So I asked myself how I could come up with the amount I needed. The idea came to me to ask a few people who owed me money to consider paying. They were surprised that I hadn't billed them.

So just days before I needed the money, it was all there in my checking account.
