God Knows !!! He Knows !!!

Over the last week or so, our friend Larry ,was heavy on my mind . Larry is a friend of ours who has been living outside for a number of years. Larry has advanced lung cancer and has trouble breathing, I was sure that the extreme heat here in Sumter was a burden to him. Over the past few weeks we had not seen Larry any where around town. I set out to find him Saturday morning. After a few hours of looking around town and talking with people, I was directed to the Downtowner motel. Larry was in a second floor room sitting next to a window air conditioner that was cool but not cold. He told me that he had not eaten in a few days because he needed to spend his last money on his prescription inhaler because it had become so hard to breathe. Think about it just a moment......He was forced to decide...."Eat,, or,, Medication to breathe" and he chose to buy breathing medication. He needed to eat because of his blood sugar but....No more money.

And then I knocked on his door...God had sent me there for sure!! I was able to make a Burger King run for him and boy did he dig into that Whopper!! Earlier that morning, I was prompted to put a new box fan that was donated by a Bethesda Church of God member, in the van..So I did... I was able to set up the fan next to the air unit in his room and the room got much cooler. God had me buy him a $ 50.00 gift card for Burger King..So I did... he said that that would "Set him up for a month"  He seemed much better.. his sugar was up, his breathing was better and he was laughing and smiling again. He is going to move into a home with a friend of his out in Wedgefeild and get off of the streets. He says that his health is to the point that he just cannot live outside any longer...and his friend was going to take him in.  (Thank you Lord) 

My point to this story is... God knew.. what I did not know...but He prompted me and gave me a burden and a sense of urgency for Larry.  God knew Larry was in need and He set me up to respond. Even to the point of adding the box fan to boost the air conditioner. Larry was in need and God knew! and God sent the answer!!!
And you know what ???  He knows where you are and what you need right now !! He will send the answer ! He knows !!!  Just ask him and He will respond !!!

Matthew 7:7 ”Ask, and it will be given to you seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

John 14:13-14 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
