From financial struggle to unexpected abundance: How an unexpected $24,000 gift restored faith in a newly-married couple’s business.
What Does the Bible Say?
“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8
God’s Provision at Work?
Sometimes in life, when we are faced with challenges, it can be difficult to see the way forward. We can feel discouraged and lose faith in our abilities or our dreams. But what happens when we choose to trust in God and keep persevering, even when things seem impossible? Amazing things can happen, as a newly-married man discovered.
This man was a real estate agent who had not made any money in the first eight months of his business. He and his wife were about to give up, feeling hopeless and discouraged. That’s when something incredible happened. They received two checks in the mail; one addressed to each of them for $12,000 each. The checks were written by a friend’s mother-in-law, who they had met only once. She was walking on the beach when the Lord asked her to write them those checks, and she said yes.
Can you imagine the shock and joy that the couple felt when they opened those envelopes? It was a clear sign that God was watching over them and had not forgotten them. This unexpected provision gave them the faith to keep going, to keep working hard, and to believe that success was possible. They were so encouraged that someone they barely knew would be moved by the Lord to bless them in such a significant way.
This experience was a turning point for him and his wife, as they learned to trust in God’s provision and guidance. It was a reminder that when we feel like giving up, God is always with us, ready to provide for our needs in unexpected ways. As the Bible says, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
