Fishes and Loaves

October 2015

Acts 2

God still works miracles. He didn’t leave them in the history books where BC becomes AD. He brought them into the here and now-the living present day.

Today, God showed me fishes and loaves.

I didn’t get a train ticket on Friday, thinking that the stations would be open on the weekends. So I had cash, but just enough to get a train fare ticket. Now I prefer to have some extra cash on hand being in the city.

No bother, there could always be more but at least there was enough. Last night I found a $20 bill in my bag, that I don’t ever remember putting there. Great security money, I thought, not giving credit to God.

This morning as I got on the train, I opened my wallet to find $3 extra single dollar bills. I counted last night-there was only $9 in my wallet.

My heart is thanking God for these fishes and loaves. As I hand the $9 fare to the conductor ($6 base fare and $3 surcharge buying fare on the train), he looks to me and says $6. I hand him $9 anyway thinking he misspoke. He handed me back $3. So now there are $26 extra that God made appear! I don’t know of any person on earth who can make money just appear like that. He has us in his arms and in His ways!
