Look Out Below!


Melody really wanted to update the flooring in her house. The carpet's luster was long lost and she decided hardwood floors would add pizazz. However, her pocketbook and her husband did not agree. Hardwood floors remained a dream... a desire.

On the way home from church recently, Melody prayed about her flooring. "Lord, you know the desire of my heart. I release the situation to you. I'll be content with what we have." With a sigh, she let go of the idea.

Two days later, the couple returned home from work to discover a huge piece of sheetrock had fallen from their eighteen foot high ceiling! No one was home-no one was injured. But the insulation and .... ewww.....gook from a leaking pipe caused a good bit of damage. Fortunately insurance would cover all their needs. And a desire!
Yep. God's got it all in his pocket. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills AND a good parcel of hardwood flooring. Seems like letting go let God work. Isn't He awesome?
What desires do you need to release to the Lord? Ready for His blessing? You never know how it will arrive. Look out below...........
