A. God can even use unbelievers to give to His people:

JOB 27:16. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

JOB 27:17. He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

PSA 2:8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

PRO 21:1. The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

PSA 105:44. And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

PRO 13:22. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

ECC 2:26. For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

ISA 23:18. And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

B. Examples of the need to ask:

1SA 25:3. Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

1SA 25:4. And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.

1SA 25:5. And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

1SA 25:7. And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

1SA 25:8. Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

1SA 25:7. And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

1SA 25:8. Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

1SA 27:5. And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?

1SA 27:7. And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.

MAR 11:4. And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

MAR 11:5. And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

MAR 11:6. And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

MAR 11:7. And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

MAR 14:12. And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

MAR 14:13. And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

MAR 14:14. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

MAR 14:15. And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

LUK 5:2. And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

LUK 5:3. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

JOH 4:6. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
