Trust

Our children had a great Christmas. They got so many things that they really wanted. They were so very blessed.

My husband and I had a good Christmas–got a few things we needed plus a few fun things and we didn’t go over budget.

In fact, we spent almost nothing from our regular budget on the kid’s presents. This is the first year I didn’t insist on buying this, that, and the other thing and agonize over many gifts. And this is the first year that the Lord not only provided several gifts straight out (like a Gamecube that my bil was no longer using just as we got an LCD tv so our oldest–who has seizures when watching a regular tv, could watch it.) Not only that but other gifts poured in that they had specifically asked for.

What amazes me is that we have had some rough years money wise–10 of them in fact (we will be married 11 years in January.) We have very slowly learned how God wants us to handle our money. It may not be the way He calls others to, but it is how He wants US to, and He is blessing us right and left. It may not look like much to others but to us it is wealth beyond measure because weknow we can rely on Him for sll our needs.

When I start to doubt–He says ,”Trust me.”

When I am unsure–He says, “Trust me.”

When extra costs come –He says, “Trust me.”

He is Jehovah Jireh– God Provider, and provide He does.

Father God, thank you that you do provide, just as you promised.

17Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 1 Timothy 6:17-18
