by Keith Wilkerson, editor
Mrs. Zelma Neal was not expecting to go to church and come
home richer. She had been in such a rush to get to her Sunday school
class at Rantoul, Illinois' First Methodist Church that she even left her
Bible at home. So, she ducked into the church library and borrowed a
new Bible. As she walked down the hall, she removed the plastic
wrapper.
Sitting down in class, she quickly turned to the lesson text, the
ninth chapter of Daniel ╨ a grim passage about God's wrath when His
people are unfaithful. Suddenly, $600 fell out from between the
pages. "I squealed," she told the Associated Press. "At first I thought it
was play money. But then it dawned, that's real money!"
Considering the solemn warnings in the lesson text, the
unexpected blessing was almost ironic -- except that the passage does
carry the theme found elsewhere that God will shelter and provide for
His failful even in terrible times of national judgment.
Mrs. Neal says she has donated the six, new, crisp $100 bills to the
church's Renovation Fund. "We see it as a gift from God," she said.
