The Lord will Provide

God knows our needs and is faithful to take care of us. Do you trust Him?

I had a root canal that cost me $658. That was about 658 more than I had available at the time. But we prayed and God has worked it out. A babysitting job, a paid position at church camp, an anonymous gift, and viola, God provides $650. None of it came out of the money we live on. And I don't believe in coincidences.

Yes we had to work for some of it. But God never said he'd provide by dropping it out of the clear blue sky. The timing is providential and we're giving glory where it's due.

We've been having van troubles. Our best available option seemed to be to go further into debt and trade up to a more reliable vehicle. We weren't discontent -- we liked our van, but since it seemed to be on the verge of giving up the ghost, we felt we were in a corner. Then we received a phone call from a man we've never met offering to fix the van at his shop… for free. Another anonymous gift, probably from one of our brothers or sisters at church.

If you don't spend much time at church and if you don't slow down and get to know your church family. You are cutting yourself off from this avenue of God's blessing. We shared our needs during Sunday School as we always have. And this time God provided an answer, almost certainly through that class. That can't happen if you won't let it.

God is good all the time. All the time God is good.
