The Humor of God

Example #1 - The Tree
I was driving down the 78 freeway several weeks ago and I was thinking about Christians being likened to a tree. I began to rehearse Psalm 1 and continued to pray for specific people that I would like to see planted and "bringing forth fruit in their season" ... I got pretty passionate and rather excited about this tree analogy. After about ten minutes of praying I turned my head to glance at the car next to me - it was a little tiny red sports car carrying a GIANT potted tree in the front seat.
I laughed out loud.

Example #2 - The Gift
This morning, I was driving home and thanking the Lord for finances. I thanked Him for my job and my brand new car and ALL the blessings He has given me through the years ... I thanked him for being Jehovah Jireh and for taking care of all my needs according to HIS riches (not mine!). Then I prayed for more ... Lord I pray for inheritances, checks and gifts in the mail. When I got home just ten minutes later, there was a package left on the front porch for me. Woo hoo - Answered prayer! I opened the package and it was an umbrella given as a gift from the place I bought my car. Ha! Not exactly what I was asking the Lord for, but it made for a good laugh! (I put my camera in a tree and took a picture for you)
