Gen. 24:35 glory to the giver.

The Lord------has blessed my master greatly.  Now he is preparing to give his son a wife.  His son will be blessed to.  Abraham is out to secure for his son a way to continue the people of faith.  A bride for him.
How much more is our father out seeking to prepare for us his will.  My mother in law comments every time I cough.  When she says Lord have mercy I say amen.  Then I confess some faith promises for that to go away.
Providence of God comes in unusual strange ways but it is wonderful how God meets our needs.  He makes us great in wealth according as we have need.  Greedy preachers preach more about giving than anything else.  One preacher says every time he comes on TV that he is believing for 3 million dollars.  He is asking the people because he doesnt have confidence God will hear and answer prayer.  For me it is possible to say a humor thing once in a while, but the gospel is a serious thing  (not morbid)  it produces life when good bible teaching with God's Spirit touching hearts. Not a comedy club.  Foolish jesting just makes it difficult to get God to move on behalf of his people.
The important part of God giving to us is he gets all the glory for what he alone has done.  He may or may not use people but he does do it for us.
