The Rabbit Foot

 People all over the world believe in good luck charms. One of those is a rabbit foot. I do not know how that originated. Good luck charms are certainly not what is on my mind this morning. I have a far different tale to share with you. One that in all my years of walking with God I have never seen before. His creativity and ability do not cease to amaze me. Let me tell you what happened to me yesterday. 

Tuesdays and Thursdays are pretty busy up here at Spring Creek when Pinnacle Christian School is in session. They use our facility. About 125 students and dozens of teachers descend on this place. A couple of years ago we relocated my office right across from the Pinnacle office. It is grand central station. When I need to study on those days I often use my old office we turned into the church library. That is what I did yesterday morning. 

Around mid morning I left to go make a pastoral visit. When I approached the glass doors I noticed a rabbit outside sitting right next to the door. On closer examination the rabbit sat on a white envelope. I was a little surprised at first. When I opened the door the heavy weight of the stone rabbit impeded the door opening as easily as it should have. My curiosity arose. I picked up the sone rabbit to see the envelope on the ground. I was again surprised when I noticed my first name handwritten on it. I placed the rabbit in the flower bed and placed and picked up the envelope. I had to next go to my house to get the car keys. It was only then that I opened the envelope. I thought it might have bee a letter of some type. 

I have no idea who went through all that effort to leave an envelope underneath a stone rabbit. Especially when I was only a few week away from those doors in the old office. Somebody drove up there, got out of their vehicle, laid the envelope on the ground, found and placed the stone rabbit on top because it was a breezy day. All of this make my curiosity arise. Somebody went through a lot of effort. 

I don't believe in good luck charms. Why should I when I walk with God. My hope and faith are in Him in each season of life. He is there in times of adversity. He is there in times of prosperity. He is dependable all times in between the two. He is trustworthy. He has demonstrated His faithfulness in my life over and over again. If you are a frequent reader of these posts you know that. You have read about the many ways God has come through for my family in astounding ways. I love to tell those stories. I digress. 

You may be wondering what was inside the envelope. It turned out not to be a letter to my surprise. There were five one hundred dollar bills in that envelope. Shocking. It is true that Brenda and I are praying for His provision in a couple of areas. I never suspected God would deliver His provision under a rabbit foot. It makes me smile and chuckle on the inside. He prompted someone somewhere to be His vessel of provision to us again. It is simply amazing. I glorify God because of this. I praise Him for helping us again. I exalt Him for hearing prayer and answering in a most unusual way. It was not good luck. It was good God.
