The River Community Church - Faribault, Minnesota

I have believed that the Lord would provide since the very beginning; part of that belief
is in Tithing no matter what the financial picture looks like, and trusting the Lord to
take care of our needs in spite of the Tithing looking like a further drain on our
finances. The Lord has always been faithful in every instance to meet our needs. There came
a time recently when it seemed impossible that we would receive what we needed to make ends
meet, it was like a supreme test of faith. And I began to actually worry, wondering how
this situation could ever turn around. I felt urged as I was in the midst of my worry to go
to the front window of our house. There I saw a sight that I have never seen before or
since, there were literally thirty sparrows eating along the edges of our driveway. I called my wife to
the window to see them. The Lord said, oh you of little faith, if I care for them, how much more will I
care for you? I knew then that we must trust him even when things are seemingly impossible, for
his ways are not our ways and his thoughts not our thoughts.
And our financial situation literally disappeared the next day by very unusual
circumstances, nothing we could have expected. I believe the Lord put thirty sparrows in the
driveway instead of one or two or three there to emphasize the point, thirty definitely had an
immediate impact on me. You must seek him, read his word daily, there is much understanding
and power in his word the Holy Spirit will guide you, speak to him often, and he will answer, desire
to be the least in his kingdom, strive to be the least, humble yourself, put all others ahead of you
and ask him for his will to be done, not yours, and all things will be added unto you! Praise the
Lord, give a shout to the Lord, give thanks to him who reigns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
He is the lion of Judah! Thank you Jesus!
