Amazing Provision


This blog is a testimony of how the Lord has taken care of my every need, even small ones.

So at my time here at Morning Star I have not been working on a regular basis for several reasons. This month I've come down to the nitty gritty. At first I was stricken with fear because I have always been "in control" of my financial situation doing all that I could to make sure everything is paid for (in advance even). I really felt like the Lord wanted me to wait on Him for provision rather than doing things by my own strength. I have to admit there were times of freak out and fruitless job interviews, which normally I have never had a problem getting a job... God's always blessed me with favor. Anyways...

This week and last week I have had several opportunities to receive free meals, free food, and even free Starbucks!! Oh how the Lord knows us all too well :) I even got a chance to go to a Ravi Shankar concert for free with some pretty amazing musicians... AND I got to meet Ravi and his daughter Anoushka.

I'm saying all this not to brag, but to testify that the Lord knows every need we have and He will ALWAYS come through for us. He even throws in special things to let us know that He knows us and loves to bless us.

One thing I learned before this awesome stuff happened, was that during this time God was the only One I could lean on. I had to trust Him, I CHOSE to trust Him. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real... it's just a LIE from the enemy to keep us from believing God. Fear steals our FAITH, and with out faith it's impossible to please God. If God blessed us because we were freaking out He would be endorsing fear. FAITH... a faith that works by love is undeniable, always accessible, able, and dependable. Faith and love changed the way I viewed God and myself. My prayers changed and the way in which I live has changed. If God can do that for me, He is most certainly able to do it for you!!!

What do you need? Ask... God is a good, good Father! :)
