A lady boarded a bus, and a moment or two later the conductor asked for her fare. To her dismay she found she had lost her purse, and the conductor intimated that she better alight. She did so.
It was a hot morning. She was miles away from home. What was she to do? She asked herself, Turning into a park, she sat down on a seat. She was in an awkward plight indeed, but—there was God! She would tell Him about it. Opening a pocket Testament she carried, her eyes fell on Philippians 4:1919But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19), which was underlined:
“But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Her “need” that moment was a dime. She closed her eyes and told the Lord Jesus about it, and immediately she had the assurance that her “need” would be supplied. How, she did not know, and that did not matter—God knew.
She began to trace letters in the gravel with her umbrella. She traced the text:
“God is Love.” As she was writing the last letter “e,” her umbrella point turned up a dime. Her heart gave a big thump. Her “need” was supplied! And she bowed her head and thanked Gad.
No need is too small and none too great but what the Lord is able to supply them all.
