Christian Reflection and Prayer

There's an amusing little story about a formerly
wealthy man who was down on his luck. One day,
the pastor of his church spotted him sitting on a
park bench, shabbily dressed and wearing a scruffy
beard. "What happened to you Bob," the preacher
asked. "You used to be rather well off."

Bob told of a hard luck story including several bad
investments and the loss of his business. "Go home,
" the pastor said, "and open your Bible at random,
stick your finger on the page and there will be God's
answer to your trouble."

Some months passed and again the preacher
spotted the man in the park -- only this time he was
dressed in an expensive suit, was wearing a fine
watch and had a fancy sports car parked nearby.
"Bob," said the Pastor, "I'm so glad to see you back
on your feet."

"Yes," said the man, "and I owe it all to you! You
see I opened my Bible just like you said, put my
finger down on the page and there was the answer --
 Chapter 11."
