The Check is in the Mail by Laurie McTier

"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

Recently, I had the opportunity to direct one of On The Go's mission outreach teams. The team ministered in several churches and schools outside of a major city. One week before the team left, one of the pastors called our office and asked that we would paint the church during our outreach. Our initial response was "Certainly, we would love to." Then, reality set in. Before leaving the States, we needed to have an extra $500 to cover the expenses of the paint supplies.

I made several phone calls requesting supporters to pray that God would supply for our need. Two days before the team left, I remember praying for God to work a miracle and supply the money needed. I felt led to pray for the individual to be sensitive to the Lord, and obedient to His will. Later that afternoon, a dear friend called our office. Her exact words were, "Laurie, I owe you an apology. I need to send you some money. I thought that I had already sent this to you, but just today I realized I never sent the check."

In talking with her, I shared our need for the church. God was in complete control, because what she was sending was the exact amount needed to purchase the paint. The check was in the mail. God had prepared her heart for the need that I would share with her. To God Be the Glory!

God's timing is always perfect. He is rarely early, never late, but always right on time. As we are dependent upon Him for needs in our life, He allows us to see His hand at work in mighty ways.

Daily Prayer Focus: Praise God that He knows our needs, even before we are aware of them. Praise God that He is our Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.

On The Go Prayer Focus: Those who need to make decisions for Christ as On The Go and the Keith Cook Team shares the Gospel around the world. Pray that they will hear a clear message about Christ, that the Holy Spirit will move them to a point of decision and that they will be bold enough to publicly respond for Christ.

Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.
