For some time, Howard had been concerned about a medication he has to take for diabetes. His regular meds had become prohibitively expensive. The doctor prescribed a new drug, also costly, but they happened to have free samples that he could have every month. He gladly accepted, and this was satisfactory for several months, when this courtesy was discontinued.
He had no choice but to buy the medication at the exorbitant price of $20 per pill, which would be $60 for 3 pills. Then last Sunday at church, our pastor invited all who had prayer needs to come to the altar at the close of the service. We went and prayed earnestly about the meds.
The next day, Monday, we went to the pharmacy to buy 3 of the pills. The pharmacy tech gave him the bag containing the prescription, and he did a double take when he saw the price. $4.00! He couldn't believe it, but she showed him that the insurance had kicked in and covered it! God had heard and answered our prayer! Now he will spend only $40 monthly instead of $600! Praise God!
We told the pastor about it last night at our Wednesday pre-service meal. He was thankful and asked if he could share the testimony with the church, which he did. The congregation exploded with clapping and praise at our miracle!
This morning I saw a message on Facebook from a friend who posted, "The sunrise this morning is gorgeous! Hurry and go look!" I noted that that was 15 minutes ago, but I jumped out of bed to look out the window. The sky was still rosy-red, coloring the heavy gray clouds that would soon lose their luster when they blanketed the sky for the rest of the day.
God's blessings are infinite, not only giving us answered prayers, but also panoramic scenes of beauty in His creation! He is worthy of all praise!
