A pair of size US9 shoes
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
In this post, I want to thank God for a new pair of shoes and the best thing was that it came free as a blessing! Let me elaborate- During our Arise and Build season, here is a conservation you will find familiar:
A: “Hey Bugis got 1 shop selling gothic clothes got 30% sale lei… Want to go down and buy together?”
B: “Erm… building fund now I very tight lei…”
But God provided for me according to my specific need!
Zhen Xian and I have signed up for Adidas Sundown Marathon 2008 and in our training for it, we need to clock mileage. The problem here was that I only have one pair of running shoes and it is issued by the army. Having no credit left to buy new ones and my SAF running shoes are needed in camp, my progress was slow. Also, after pledging a sacrificial amount, I really have no money to buy a pair of running shoes and I wanted something more than the shoes offered by the army. So, I prayed and asked God for a pair of running shoes.
Praise God! After service today, I asked my dad if he could lend me his shoes so that I can go and do some proper training. To my surprise, he told me that my uncle has given him a new pair of Nike running shoes and he kept it in his car. My first response was “Wow Nike shoes lei!! Better than New Balance right...” What was amazing is that my dad wears US size 6 and my uncle somehow bought a US size 9 for him! Needless to say, Abba knows exactly how to meet my need by the fact that even a pair of shoes bought of the wrong size is actually an answer to my specific need! In short, God answered my prayer and I got a new pair of running shoes! Yeah! Hallelujah!
Lastly, what I want to say is that some of you might be financially tight right now that you don’t even have money to buy a new pair of skirt or pants, but we must know that our God is Jehovah Jireh, that our God is a God who provides. So, keep on keeping on till the end of this season and knowing that your breakthrough is on its way ^_^
Thank You Abba Father!
