FIVE % IS A LOT FOR GOD?

I remember earlier in my marriage, it appeared that my marriage was over, one day I set up a meeting between my Pastor, my wife and myself, by this time I was living with my brother in-law, as we arrived to meet with her, I was hopeful, not so sure about my Pastor, we met with my wife and he spoke with her alone and we said our good byes, as we were headed to the car, He ask what do you think your chance’s are that she will stay with you? I responded “about 95%”, to which he replied “more like 5%” so I said “5% is a lot for God”……..he smiled and we left! Weeks go by then, One day while at church….. my brother in-law came by, he said I had some mail, “mail” I said. He handed me what was clearly official documents, as I looked them over it became clear, what I had in my hand was a request for a divorce, my heart sank, there are no words to describe the feeling I had that day, I didn’t tell anyone at the time, I just finished out the day. When I arrived home, I went to my room and I ask God how could this be, how could you allow this to happen to me, this went on for days, then i one day i stop believing the circumstances and started believing God!! I began to pray “Lord save my marriage”, countless times a day!

One afternoon an attorney, came to my office, she stated due to an error in the previous papers, that my wife would have to file again, which my wife declined to do and the case was closed, that almost seven years ago!

After I did everything that I could think of, I finally did what I should have done in the beginning, I cried out to God for justice and he heard my cry!

Reminds me of the parable of the widow found in Luke 18:1-8

And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Lord, help us in our darkest hour to remember you oh Lord, Lord help us to close our eye’s to what we see, an look into our heart’s for what we know and that is that thou are with us always and that thou word is Truth, and if we would just believe all thing’s are possible! Lord i ask in the Name if Jesus, Amen y Amen!
