A Veggie Tale by Bronwynn Ricco
So I don’t have an amazing story to tell. I didn’t raise a man from the dead or heal the sick. I haven’t walked on water or parted the Red Sea. But I do know that in all things God is faithful. God is truth and the truth will always prevail. Whether you ask God for the small things or the big things He will always be true and faithful to His Word. This is a truth that I have experienced myself. This is the story; one small request meets one great God.
It was Tuesday morning. I was driving to church when I got stuck in some traffic so I had some time to think. While thinking I felt an anxiousness come over me. Not much petrol in the tank, not much food in the fridge for dinner that night and very little money in the bank account to get us through the rest of the month was the cause for my anxiousness. And so I prayed. I asked my Heavenly Father to be my provider. It was a simple prayer, I asked for vegetables. Sounds silly but we didn’t have any veggies in the fridge and I was worried about what I would cook for dinner. All I asked was that somehow, God would make a way where there seemed to be no way. No one knows that we don’t have much at the moment and I wasn’t going to ask. At that the prayer ended, and that was that. I didn’t think about it for the rest of the day. I left it with God.
Later that day when my husband got home he walked in and called me to come have a look at the boot of the car. When I saw what was in the boot I felt like crying. We were blessed with a boot full of food. Fruit, veggies, meat the works. God had provided, as always. I felt the love of a Father embrace His daughter and I was reminded that He is always faithful. The funny thing is that I asked for veggies and we got so so so so so so much more. When God gives He exceeds your expectation. All you have to do is believe and trust that His truth will always prevail.
