Yesterday I realized that a mistake in my budget calculations would leave me $43 short before my next available paycheck.  I didn't quite panic, but my mind raced over various ideas to make up the deficit, none of them really feasible.  A few days ago I'd asked God for help with my monetary difficulties, but I wasn't sure that He'd respond in a way that would solve my problem.  (Is that disguised doubt?  I don't know.)  

Last night, while looking through piles for a couple of needed papers, I discovered various forgotten checks and opportunities.  The total?  

$45.  

I think I'm being taught a gentle lesson.  What can I say but thank You?  

I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.  Ps. 34:4

A lesson, or maybe just a wee reminder. *g* I love when things like that happen.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Never doubt the gentle ribbing of the Lord.

Thank you! I needed this reminder today. The Lord is great! It's me that is in doubt.

True for most of us, I'm afraid!

Isn't it amazing what He will do for us when we let him? I'm glad he gave you that gift.

Me too! :D Amazement is too rare a commodity, I think sometimes.

Oh, how sweet, when you actually sense the voice of God, talking directly to you. I've only had one such experience in my life, but the memory of it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up and my mouth go dry. To be so known, to realize that amidst the vast sea of humanity, you have been recognized. It is awesome, in the truest and least jargon-y way.

It was indeed. I felt both tickled and humble, if you know what I mean, and ended up laughing at myself. It's not often that I let the divine close, which is a mistake, but I'm full of 'em.
