The man felt God leading him to fly back to California and speak to an old friend about Christ. He was so sure that God wanted him to go, that if necessary, he was willing to sell his car in order to buy the plane tickets.
I was compelled to leave the group and go outside and just talk to the lord about it. After praying about it I knew I was to give him some money. It wasn't until a few days later that I had the money and found him at a Christian coffee house. I asked to talk to him and we sat together at a table.
I told him how God had led me to give him $115. I knew it was a strange number. You would normally give a nice round number like $100 or $120, but God led me to give him exactly $115.
The man jumped up and was laughing and dancing around. Finally, he sat back down. "God is so good. Yesterday my apartment manager came up to me and gave me $3. He said, 'I know it's weird to give only $3 but I really felt God leading me to give it to you.' I thought that it really wasn't going to help much but I thanked him and took the money. My tickets cost $118. With that $3 and your $115 God exactly met my needs."
That lesson was not lost on me. God does provide and He exactly provides what is needed. God knows our needs. God provides for everyone who is walking upon the path that God directs them to. You want to see God moving in your life? Do His will and trust Him to provide. He will never abandon you.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:5-6
