Recently I relocated back to Lakeland, Florida. A move like that can get pretty expensive. Besides looking for work, and putting a home together I am raising three pre-teens. Box after box it became apparent at how much we don't have. Any home needs the basics, food, toilet paper, coffee maker and towels. I did mention the basics right? As a single parent on a very fixed, or shall I say broken income I have come to depend upon the Lord for EVERYTHING!! The Bible says in Philippians 4:19 "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus."
Wednesday night after church someone approached me with a bag of clothes for my thirteen year old daughter which was a tremendous blessing. As I was going through the items, right there in the middle of jeans and bedazzled t-shirts was a brand new packet of shower curtain hooks. I was dumbfounded!! You see God knew that I was in need of those shower curtain hooks and no one else knew. A random item thrown into a bag of give away clothes became a renewed life support to the throne. My heavenly Father loved me enough to send shower curtain hooks, the right color I might add, to me. He wanted to let me me know that, "No matter how Big... and No matter how small, that He was still in control."
The God of the Universe cares about ME and my seemingly insignificant needs. One might ask, why would the Master meet such an unimportant need when what I really need is a full time job? He wanted to reassure me that He alone is my provider and to hang on the answer is on it's way.
As the scripture says,*** MY GOD*** WILL <no questions asked> meet my needs! Why? Just because He loves ME! Be encouraged my friend, you are not forgotten!!
