Just a little over a week ago, on November 4th, America was busy with all things political. While we were certainly praying and well aware of this historic day, things over at the Proverbs 31 Ministries office were business as usual.
One of the things we do each day is to send out a daily devotion. On this particular day, the devotion that happened to get slated was about reading through the Bible in a year.
Wendy wrote the devotion and encouraged people who have struggled with this before, to try the Chronological Bible she uses. She is about to embark on her fourth journey of reading through the Bible and she issued an invitation for anyone interested in joining her.
At the bottom of the devotion was a link to purchase the Chronological Bible from our ministry. Being women of great business insight (smiles) we had purchased 20 of these Bibles for any orders that might come in.
There was every reason in the world that we should only sell a few Bibles.
1. It was election day. People were distracted to say the least.
2. It was a more expensive book than what we normally offer.
3. Money is tight for everyone these days.
But God.
I love those two words when strung together.
The day the devo went out Wendy was begging God to please sell the Bibles. First thing in the morning, we had sold one. Wendy looked at the stack of 19 and prayed. Then she prayed some more. And she kept on praying.
Well, didn't just get orders for 20 Bibles.
We didn't get orders for 100 Bibles.
We didn't get orders for 300 Bibles.
Y'all we had over 700 orders flood our office for Bibles.
Amazing!

Each Bible that went out was prayed over by our staff.
So, for each of you that have prayed that God will heal our land... be encouraged! He is working indeed!
Psalm 85: 12-13 says, "The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. Righteousness goes before him and prepares a way for his steps."
I like to think of righteousness as meaning right choices that honor God.
So, the last part of that verse would be a reminder that right choices that honor God go before him and prepare a way for the Lord's steps in our lives.
May it be so with these Bibles!Are you interested in joining Wendy on her adventure through the Bible this year?
