God Provides
TestimonyStory★★★★★I remember talking to a dear friend of mine, a builder, and he went up to Alaska during a building boom and was doing very well, and then the bottom fell out, and it hit hard, and they were overextended and just almost overnight they had no money, they had house payments, they had nowhere to go, and this family was totally out of food, but they were Christians, had 3 kids. And they said, look, the Lord knows that we need food. He’s promised He will not let us go hungry.
We read it right here in the word that if you being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in heaven give to those that ask? They said, let’s ask Jesus. So with the 3 kids, they said, we need to teach the kids faith. We don’t know where God’s going to get us the food, but they knelt down and they prayed.
They told me this story. They said while they’re on their knees praying for food, the doorbell rings. It was a neighbor who worked for an airline. She said because of the weather the flight was cancelled, they’ve got all this food for the flight could you guys use any?
All these pre-prepared meals. They said, we ate all this airline food that day. For several days they gave them all these trays. But what do you think they did for the kids faith?
When they saw their parents, they were praying for food and the doorbell rings and there’s food. I’ve had the Lord do that for me. And just miracles. So God will provide your basics.

The point
A Christian family in Alaska, facing financial ruin and no food, knelt with their three children to pray for provision. While they were praying, a neighbor from an airline arrived with an abundance of pre-prepared meals from a cancelled flight, demonstrating God's miraculous provision and strengthening the children's faith.
