Now, as things turned out, it seems as if there may be a possibility that I just might be one who will end up using that ramp! Seems as if I just might have helped build it for myself.

Sometimes, life seems to deal us a cruel twist of fate. I can either look at that ramp and whine, and cry, and say, "Why me, Lord? Or, I can smile a little and think, "Hey, at least I know you can’t go up it by yourself, in a wheel chair!

"A cheerful heart is good medicine,

but a crushed spirit dries up bones."

Proverbs 17:22

Faith works same way really. You know that you can have something. You were told what to do to get it. It's very simple for you to get it. Someone else is doing all work and all you really need to do is ask and believe.

It Really Is That Simple God has done so much for us. No matter what anyone says to contrary, He has made it very simple for people to get what He's said!

Sometimes we have to wait for food to finish cooking before we can eat it but we know it's coming. We're to get ready to eat it. God often helps us get ready to get desires of our hearts. We have pleasure in Him and He gives us desires of our hearts (Psalms 37:4).

How do we get our pleasure in Him? Like any relationship you have with anyone you have to spend time with God to get to know him. He already knows you. He created you and loves you!

He's got much more than a hundred dollars for you! The more time you spend with God, more you'll love Him. In that love you find yourself having a great deal of pleasure.

We've all too often been taught that our time and God's time are different. The simple reality is that God is a God of now. Repeatedly He showed us throughout Bible that it would be done for person asking if they were ready in faith (Luke 8:48).

Faith is believing enough in something to take action. Spend time with God. Read what He has told you He would do. Spend time thinking about it. You'll find yourself growing closer and closer to Him.

You'll find yourself believing that what He said is true for you. In that trust, you'll find yourself acting more and more upon what He's told you! You'll be receiving what you've asked for and more!
