I didn’t really put in an order.<\/p>\n

I just mentioned to you last week that if I expected God to keep providing chips, I’d put in an order for tortilla chips – meaning I didn’t expect that.<\/p>\n

And when I got home after writing that, Julie showed me a bag of tortilla chips that had been donated.<\/p>\n

Wow! Have I reached some amazing level of spiritual maturity where the desires of my heart are so in tune with God’s will that He is granting them?<\/p>\n

Yeah, right. Like tortilla chips would be involved if that was the case.<\/p>\n

So what is going on here?<\/p>\n

If the potato chips were God saying, “I love you,” in response to our expression of love – to our willing decision to do without for Him – what are the tortilla chips?<\/p>\n

I’m not sure, but let me try this. What if the potato chips were for us, and the tortilla chips were for you?<\/p>\n

No, I don’t mean sent us your tortilla chips by mistake. God doesn’t make mistakes.<\/p>\n

I’m just wondering … maybe our decision to glorify Him before you for what He did … led to God throwing in the tortilla chips in order to say to you, “See? This is not a fluke. I will show Myself to My people.” (See John 14:15-21)<\/p>\n

I don’t know how God wants you to respond to that. But I can offer you some opportunities:<\/p>\n
