Forever Relying on God:
In the short time I've been going to One Way Baptist Church in Randleman, NC I've seen and been involved in some miraculous things. I suppose the first was the limb stuck in a tree. It was a huge limb and I had been trying to get it out of the tree for six months with no success. I even got a former football lineman (NFL quality player) and another big man to help me but even the three of us couldn't move it. I was afraid that when it did fall out of the tree someone would be hurt but I couldn't get it out.
A week or so after the three of us tried to get it out and failed we were having a cookout for the community and I was really afraid of that limb. I knew the only way it was coming down was for God to remove it. The day before the cookout I walked over to the tree, asked God to remove it and the tree limb just fell out.
Another miraculous thing I saw happened when I was clearing the back lot. There was a tree stump that was so large it had eleven trunks, each at least 12 inches thick, growing from it. I had no way to cut it up and I really needed it gone. I almost had the entire lot cleared except for that huge stump. One night I prayed and told God that He would have to remove the stump because I couldn't.
The next morning a man came by and picked up all the free firewood I had cut and asked me if I had anything else. "Just that big ole stump" I said, figuring he would just walk away after seeing the size of that thing. "Just give me fifteen minutes" he replied and in a few minutes he had it cut up. The next day he came back with his son and they carried the stump away.
God healed my wife from her aneurysm which is one of the most documented cases of God's miraculous ways. Today God helped me out again. I have an old pickup truck and I promised my wife I would trade it for a trailer to pull the lawn mower with but I pretty much gave up on that idea. Today I was working at the church when the preacher came by to meet some workmen putting cool seal on the roof. I mentioned to the preacher I wanted to swap the truck for a trailer and he suggested I sell the truck and buy a trailer. That isn't what I promised my wife so I vetoed the suggestion.
The workers needed a caulking gun so I went back to the house to get one for them and when I returned the preacher told me one of the workers said he would build me a trailer like theirs in exchange for my truck. "I need a trailer hitch put on my van. Can you take care of that too?"
He said he would.
That is four things I needed but couldn't do or get and yet all were provided me at the time I needed them. That's not counting the money He provided when I was faced with all of my wife's hospital bills nor the things that He has done for the church. You can believe what you want to believe but I know the truth.
The atheists suing over "under God" in the pledge asked "can you imagine sending your child to school and he is faced with that ever day?" Why yes I can. What I can't imagine is why would one want to go to school without God or anywhere else for that matter.
I don't want to give the impression I think God is just a supernatural being that is here just to help me out with problems. I work hard for God doing whatever he needs me to do, going where he needs me to go, and I pray daily and read his word daily and I put my full faith and trust in him. I love my God and cannot imagine life without him. In fact there is no life without God.
And that fact brings me to the greatest thing I have seen God do and that is change lives and change someone's destination. If you don't believe in him you should and if you believe but don't live for him then your belief is for nothing "for the devils also believe."
