Pop Goes The Miracle
By Minister Mary Edwards
Scripture: Daniel 10:12-13
I had an incredible experience yesterday. It began when I went
to an orientation to prepare to teach some young people creative writing…
Arriving early and sitting in the lobby for my appointment, I
became quite thirsty. There was no water fountain in sight. However, I did see a
pop vending machine nearby. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the necessary coins
in my purse, not even a dollar. By this time, a nice looking young man sat down
beside me. I never meet strangers, so I introduced myself. “Hello, my name is
Minister Mary Edwards. What’s your name?” My new friend responded, “My name is
Michael.”
The conversation continued:
Mary: “Michael, do you have change for a ten?”
Michael: “No, I’m sorry,” he replied. “But what do you need?”
Mary: “I need 75-cents for the pop machine.”
Michael: “Let me give it to you.” He reached into his pocket
and handed me the money.
Mary: “Thanks so much, Michael. God is going to give you back
more than you gave me.’
Grateful for my newfound friend, I took the money and headed
towards the vending machine. I was happy to see that there was Vernor’s Ginger
Ale inside. That’s the only pop I drink. I put my coins in the slot, made my
selection. And out pops a Vernor’s Ginger Ale WITH A DOLLAR BILL WRAPPED AROUND
IT AND SECURED WITH A RUBBERBAND!”
Friends, I’m so glad that I had wide-eyed witnesses nearby or
I would have thought I was hallucinating! After having this incredible
experience, I walked over to my new friend, Michael, gave him the dollar bill
and said, “Michael, tell the people what I said to you when you gave me
75-cents.” He repeated my words, “She told me that God was going to give me back
more than I gave her!” And God was faithful to his word. (Michael made it a
point to sit close to me when we went in for the orientation!)
Driving home from the meeting, I said, “Lord, what’s up with
that?” (I had just learned that expression from sitting in on the teen
orientation meeting.) This is what the Lord said was up:
“Mary, when you cried out to me in prayer concerning your
financial needs, I heard you the first day. I sent your answer, but MICHAEL, the
chief prince, had to content with the prince of Persia to get through to you BUT
HE HAS BROKEN THOUGH. AND HELP IS ON THE WAY.”
Anybody need a miracle?
