One night I was checking Facebook when I got a word from God for a friend in Canada. I responded, “Remember in Lord of the Rings when Frodo is stabbed, and Arwen comes with her horse to rescue him from the Nazguls? There is a climactic scene where she says, ‘If you want him, come and claim him.’ I think God wants to show you His goodness, faithfulness, and love. If you want Him, you have to claim Him!”
The following week my friend wrote to me and said, “Marshall, you’ll never guess what just happened! Last night we were driving home from a party, and our car broke down. The repairs were going to be more than the car was worth. All night I was crying and praying, asking why this was happening. Then I remembered the word you gave me, so I started claiming how good He is and how much He loves us.”
She continued, “I woke up this morning to a phone call from the local Toyota dealership. The dealership said a man had walked in that morning, laid down our name and number, and paid for any car on the lot to be ours. Paid in full! So now we are the proud owners of a brand new Corolla and cannot believe how this just happened.”
