Shopping with Jesus!

This happened a little while ago, but it's still a very fun and cool example of the amazing ways that Jesus uses to supply our needs when everything else screams impossible or seems to be failing.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:19

(Miguel:) A few of us made a small list of needs to present to Jesus. One thing on the list was new clothing, as we had just gotten back to Europe from Africa, and it was cold! We didn’t have a cent toward it, so we asked Jesus if there was anything He could do. He told us to go to the store and pick out the items we wanted. We went by faith and looked around.

We each had hangers in hand with several pieces of clothing. “Jesus, what do we do now?” He told us to take them to the counter and reserve them. We gave them to the clerk and said we’d be back soon to pick them up, and then walked out to the sidewalk. “Well, Jesus, we did our part. What next?” I looked down and saw a white envelope on the ground.

Strange! I picked it up, looked inside, and there was a stamped gift voucher for the store we had just walked out of! There was no name on the envelope, I wasn’t even sure if it was real. I went back to the counter, showed the gift voucher to the clerk we had just spoken to, and asked if it was valid. He typed some things into his computer, and handed us our clothes. The cost had balanced perfectly with what we had selected, down to the last cent! Jesus took us shopping today and we got everything we needed.
