Mark, I just wanted to show you that I can do one better.
With that $7 million-dollar provision that came out of nowhere,
It was unpredictable and uncontrollable.
God threw a surprise party!
It’s easy to pray, “Amaze me!” But I don’t know anyone who prays, “Perplex me!”
He saw a large sheet filled with animals, reptiles, and birds, and the Lord said to Peter, “Kill and eat.”

It seemed like an impossible promise to me, but to the God who can provide 105 million quail out of nowhere, what’s $2 million?
