I was with my wife this last week and we were doing a little bit of Christmas shopping . I was highly agitated not because of the commercialism of Christmas, but because I was worrying about money and not having enough to take care of things. My bride I have to tell you was a picture of faith and strength. She was don’t worry Rob, I have been praying for our situation and God has provided and he will continue to provide.
You know my response don’t you, being the man of faith that I hope and want to be. I grumbled around for awhile acting like the back side of a donkey. I am not proud of that. I went out to get the car and bring it closer to the door at my wife’s suggestion. (she wanted me away from her truth be told). Anyway as I was getting in the car I sat still for a moment. During that short time that I quit moaning and groaning, God said something to me. He had to work fast I didn’t stop for very long. He said to me “Rob why are you so worried haven’t I provided your needs?”. Have you gone hungry, or not a roof over your head?” I had to answer no God yes you provided my needs. He said yes I have and I will provide your needs in the future. Trust me Rob with all your heart in the good and the lean times. Just like I took care of Israel I in the desert and gave them mana for the day I will take care of you and your family.
A prayer I pray it seems more than not is God help my unbelief it seem right for this situation.
