Provision for Life

    I absolutely love how God always provides. I feel like every time he supplies for all of our needs it's a new revelation! Woah! God really does provide! Amazing. Reading through old journal entries is one of my favorite things to do. It can be so uplifting, because I can look back and see all the ways that God has provided. I have entries where I am crying out to God because I am empty handed and in need. In those instances everything looks completely hopeless, but I have to always keep in mind that nothing is impossible with God. All I have to do is flip and few more pages and there is always an entry about how God worked the situation out and provided for me needs.

    My parents would always talk about how God always provided for them when they had absolutely nothing. There was a time when they had nothing in the house to eat, yet they had company coming over for dinner. My mom prayed and groceries showed up at the door. This was only one of the many times that God gave them what they needed. I have seen many of them for myself as well, but it never seemed to make that big of an impact on me. I had everything I needed- a roof over my head, food, and people who cared for me. I never had to pay the bills or worry about them. Because of this, God's provisions for the family never seemed that big a deal. 

    Now that I am off on my own and working, it's a lot more stressful knowing that I have to pay the bills and buy groceries. Yet I can see God's hand so much more clearly! We really should not be able to pay rent every month because it's so expensive and we don't make that much money;however, we make it every month and still manage to have some money to buy groceries! It can be nothing other than God's hand upon us.

Philippians 4:19-And my God will supply all your needs...
