But that’s not the point of this post. Because we’re downsizing, we have given truck loads of stuff away. Today I filled up a U-Haul truck with bookcases, a king water bed, a twin water bed, a huge entertainment center, and lots of other furniture items. I took them to a charitable organization (that I won’t name here), because when I called them I was told that they DO accept furniture.
When I backed into their donation area, a guy who works there told me they only take furniture upon “inspection.” When he saw what I had, he went and got his supervisor. While he was gone, the thought came to me to pray for favor with these guys. So that’s what I did. I just had a moment with Jesus right there at the donation center lot, and asked Him to give me favor with these two dudes. They came out, and the supervisor asked me what I had to give them. When I got to the king waterbed, he said they couldn’t take it….it was too big for them. After a minute or so of conversation on this topic, the supervisor suddenly told me he would take the waterbed. Why he changed his mind, I have no idea. Except that I had asked God for favor with him.
And then another worker showed up, and he saw a “Fireproof” sticker I had placed on a cabinet and he commented about what a great movie that was. So now I was talking with a brother. And he jumped in the U-Haul and helped me unload, after the other two had disappeared.
God is for us. Be willing to ask for what you need. (Psalm 56:9; John 16:23,24)
