" >> >>After service he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and >>they >>discussed the message. Several different ones talked about how >>God had led >>them in different ways. >> >>It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. >>Sitting in >>his car, he just began to pray, " God...If you still speak to people >>speak to >>me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey. " >> >>As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest >>thought >>to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out >>loud, " God >>is that you? " He didn't get a reply and started on toward home. But >>again, >>the thought, buy a gallon of milk. >> >>The young man thought about and how he didn't recognize the >>voice of >>God, and how little ran to Eli. " Okay, God, in case that is >>you, I >>will buy the milk. " It didn't seem like too hard a test of >>obedience. He >>could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of >>milk and >>started off toward home. >> >>As he passed Seventh Street, he again felt the urge, " Turn Down >>that >>street. " >>This is crazy he thought and drove on past the intersection. Again, >>he felt >>that he should turn down Seventh Street. >> >>At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh. >>Half >>jokingly, he said out loud, " Okay, God, I will " . He drove several >>blocks, >>when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the >>curb and >>looked around. He was in semi commercial area of town. It wasn't >>the best >>but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses >>were closed >>and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in >>bed. >> >>Again, he sensed something, " Go and give the milk to the people in >>the house >>across the street. " The young man looked at the house. It was dark >>and it >>looked like the people were either gone or they were already >>asleep. He >>started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat. >> >> " Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them >>up, they >>are going to be mad and I will look stupid. " Again, he felt like he >>should >>go and give the milk. >> >>Finally, he opened the door, " Okay God, if this is you, I will go >>to the >>door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a >>crazy >>person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for >>something >>but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here. " >> >>He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some >>noise >>inside. A man's voice yelled out, " Who is it? What do you want? " >>Then the >>door opened before the young man could get away. >> >>The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like >>he >>just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he >>didn't seem >>too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. " What is >>it? " >>The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, " Here, I brought this >>to you. " >>The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. >> >>Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the >>kitchen. >>The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The >>man had >>tears streaming down his face. >> >>The man began speaking and half crying, " We were just praying. We >>had some >>big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any >>milk for >>our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get >>some >>milk. " His wife in the kitchen yelled out, " I ask him to send an >>Angel with >>some. Are you an Angel? " >> >>The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money >>he had on >>him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his >>car and >>the tears were streaming down his face. >> >>He knew that God still answers prayers.
