Just a Fridge

Last Sunday evening Mike was teaching us from Isaiah 65:24, "Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear."  He told us that the usual form is that God call, man responds, and then God directs but there are times when man call, God responds and then ...
A few months ago at the BfM store where we volunteer we sold a fridge to a farm for keeping some rare seeds.  It was a good fridge and it had been checked out but it died and the people were in a panic regarding their seeds.  We did not have a fridge available so we pursued every possible angle only to come up empty.  I told the day manager that God is as much concerned about our problem as we are so we stopped and prayed.  As soon as I said a closing "Amen" the day manager said, "We have a fridge, it is in our kitchen".  So we took our fridge and gave it to the farm until we could find a replacement.  None came in but the farm was content using our old fridge.
Then this week.  A mother had bought a fridge for her daughter who was moving into her first apartment.  The men delivered the fridge only to find out that it wouldn't go into the apartment.  All they could do was to bring the fridge back and offer the lady her money back.  While they were coming back with the fridge the farm phoned again to tell us that our old fridge had died and once again they were danger of losing their seed.  My wife was the day manager and didn't know that the fridge was coming back so she told the farm that we had no fridge but we would do our best to find one.  A few minutes later we had the fridge back, we phoned the farm and delivered a fridge to a very satisfied customer.  "Before they call I will answer."
