Today, I want to share a sweet story with you. A young woman had just lost her 6 year old son and was one her way home from his service. The young boy used to collect pennies and had done this for several years. On pulling into the driveway, she saw several pennies lying on the ground by the front door. She had not seen them there before. And upon entering the house, she noticed even more pennies that led her straight to his bedroom. She began to cry and thank God for His presence, feeling this was a sign specifically meant for her.

Now, every time I find a penny,  I feel it is God letting me know He is there. I find them everywhere and in the oddest places.

Yesterday, in my Be Still and Known Time, I heard the Lord tell me to pull out the pennies in my wallet and look at them. It was like He was saying, “Margi, what do you see?” Well I saw dates and the side view of Abraham Lincoln. But I also saw the inscription: IN GOD WE TRUST. Then He asked me how much a penny is worth. I knew that it wasn’t much – just one little cent.

You see, in that penny find – that little penny – was His hand, saying to me and to all of us: I am concerned even about the smallest things in your life – even to the smallest details! And I will be there!

So remember, the next time you reach down and find a penny on the ground – know God is there. He can be trusted – even in the smallest of smalls in your life!
