Showers of Blessings\u00a0 Day 13
\nBlessing: \u00a0Fulfilled Desire<\/u>
\nHe will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.\u00a0 \u00a0Psalm 145:19 KJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Message:
\n<\/u>A few years ago, I got a text message from a friend I hadn\u2019t heard from in quite some time.\u00a0 She asked how I was doing and if I would like to meet for lunch to catch up on things.\u00a0 I was delighted and we made plans to get together the following week.\u00a0 Because of her contacting me \u201cout of the blue\u201d two heart desires were fulfilled; one was mine and the other was my daughter\u2019s.<\/p>\n

This friend had no idea that God was using her to fulfill these desires; she just felt she wanted to renew our friendship, but God worked through her to provide a way for me to get to and from the airport to visit my grandson in another city for 6 days. Something I did not think would be possible suddenly was going to happen, and it did, and it all worked out perfectly! \u00a0My daughter\u2019s desire for three months had been to get a good job.\u00a0 She had been praying daily, asking God to show her where to go, and it so happened that this friend knew of the perfect job at the place where she worked, recommended my daughter, who applied and got hired, even though she thought there might be obstacles, God\u2019s hand of favor was upon her.<\/p>\n

That just \u201cout of the blue\u201d phone call and meeting had all been planned by God in order to fulfill the heart desires of my daughter and I and we are exceptionally grateful!<\/p>\n

The Lord does delight to grant favor to those who fear Him. He shows them His goodwill and blesses them.
\nBecause they fear Him and walk in His ways, their desires are to please Him and to do His will, so He has no problem fulfilling their desires.
\nBesides all that, He hears their cry for help and saves them.<\/p>\n

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour, wilt thou compass him as with a shield.\u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0Psalm 5:12 KJV<\/p>\n
