Petrol from heaven

A long time ago, during my final student years (1990'ish), I experienced a particularly lean month financially speaking. At the start of the month, I had no money for petrol and the needle was on empty. The month previous to that there had been an enormous petrol price hike. I just decided that that month that I would need to trust God completely. Each time I needed to drive anywhere, I would get in and pray that I would reach my destination. Just for good measure, I would remind God exactly why I needed to get where I was headed. Well, throughout the month, I kept on driving. At the end of the month, my flat mate gave me ten rand for petrol as I think she was getting nervous to drive with me, and the "hard to believe" factor was starting to take its toll on her sanity, and mine I must confess. What a faithful God! He kept me driving that whole month on an empty tank. That was the cheapest most expensive petrol I had ever bought.

Footnote:
I think it is significant to note the ten rand provided at the end of the month: Not only is God faithful, but He also is tender, caring for us, carrying us in our weakness. He is not anxious to “catch us out”. When my faith grew thin, he gave me cash, something solid, just like offering Peter his hand as his faith to walk on water started to fail. What a loving God we serve.
