Divine Intervention - by Harold Ray



For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.   Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.  When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart,   I will let you find me, says the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.  Jeremiah 29:11-14                                                                                                                                                                                    
I was traversing the golf course backwards from number 9 hole to number 1 monitoring a tournament.  I stopped at the rest area between number 6 hole and number 5 hole (about 1/8 mile).  As I started to leave I discovered my wallet was missing.  I said out loud, “Mercy, Lord help.”  I turned around and started back to number 6 hole, driving slowly looking for my wallet.

A group of tournament players were getting ready to tee off on number 6 tee-box.  I stopped the cart to keep from distracting them.  While waiting for them to tee off, I happened to look down at the cart path, and lo and behold, my wallet was laying next to the path.  I didn’t even have to get out of the cart to pick it up.


This is a real example of a prayer answered.  Thank you, Lord.
