Just In Time

      I fully believe in the power and goodness of the Lord, and recently He has shown to a member of my family His goodness and the truth of the verse in Matthew 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Someone in my family has been struggling for some time now to get by, she has no income and is too ill with a chronic disease to work and make an income of her own. But through the power of prayer and the kindness of others she had her needs met. It has been one miracle after another, money showing up just in time from seemingly nowhere to provide for her medical and others needs. Just this week He provided again for her in a big way!
      On Monday she shared with me concern over not having the money she needed to pay her co-pay for a doctors appointment,  as well as other things like prescriptions, gas for her car and her phone. She was unsure how she would pay for these things, but she believed that God would come through for her, and He rewarded for her faithfulness. Her phone and gas were taken care of by a friend, and then she found out Wednesday morning that she had won $500 in the lottery.  She is not one who plays typically, but felt like she should take a chance this time and it paid off big for her.
      Since then we have been rejoicing together, but today I wanted to share this joy with you as a testament to God fulfilling His promises.  If you are worried today, if you unsure of how you will provide, take it to the throne. Ask the Lord to meet your needs, expect Him to provide because He loves you. Free your mind from doubt and have faith in His words and promises. God never fails, it may look impossible, may look like there is no way, but where the Lord is there is a way. Trust that if He can part the Red sea so that the Israelites could escape Pharaoh, that He will provide the way for you too.     

Matthew 6:25-34

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life^e ?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
