There was a wonderful, elderly, Christian lady. She had very little money and lived in a rundown house, but she was always praising the Lord.
Her only problem was with the old man who lived next door. He was always trying to prove to her that there was no God.
One day, as the old man was walking by her house, he noticed the woman through an open window. She was kneeling down in prayer, so he crept over to the window to see if he could hear. She was praying, " Lord, you’ve always given me what I’ve needed." She prayed. "And now you know that I don’t have any money, and I’m completely out of groceries, and I won’t get another check for a week." She continued, "somehow, Lord, can you get me some groceries?"
The man had heard all he needed. He crept away from the window and ran down to the grocery store. He bought milk, bread, and lunchmeat. He ran back to the woman’s house carrying the groceries. He set the bag down on by her door, rang the doorbell, and hid beside of the house.
You can imagine how the woman reacted to seeing the bag of groceries. She threw her hands over head and began praising the Lord. "Thank you Jesus," she shouted. "I was without food and you provided the groceries."
About that time the old man jumped out and said, "I’ve got you now. I told you there was no God," the old man said, "it wasn’t Jesus who gave you those groceries it was me."
"Oh no," the woman said. "Jesus got me these groceries and made the devil pay for them."
