   Faith Pays   
      
   "First off, God has been testing us   
   for a period of about two months,   
   where it hurts-in our pocketbook. I   
   was almost tempted to 'forget?' my   
   tithe one week, but I said to myself   
   that we would go hungry first. Well, I   
   sent it in and we didn't go hungry   
   either. My bills were beginning to pile   
   up and I was figuring every way I   
   could think of as to where the money   
   was going to come from. Well, it came   
   from the least expected source. My wife   
   needed a box of salt from the store so   
   she went and bought a 10-cent box of   
   salt and ended up the winner of $100   
   because of it. God never answers a   
   prayer in the way you might expect,   
   but I don't want to argue with His   
   way of doing things. This makes twice   
   now that we have been in a financial   
   bind and God has brought us out of it.   
   If I never see it happen again I will   
   trust in Him. And talk about not being   
   room to receive it-my wife and I   
   bawled like a couple of babies. Those   
   tears of joy were wonderful; God has   
   surely fulfilled His promise."
