Yesterday morning Nicki was freaking out because something was taken out of our bank account earlier than it should have been (the problem with direct bank withdraw), and so she is scrambling to figure out how we can cover the extra expense in case our house payment check cleared so it would not bounce (the problem with being blessed…but not so much financially). Anyway, all I did was pray, “God, you are sovereign, you control everything even the waves of the sea, please take care of this problem for us!” Now, I am not saying that Nicki is less spiritual than me, but I do believe she has the gift of worry! She also saw there was really no way to cover money that isn’t there, after all, you only bring home what you bring home.
I got a call about midday…it was a man who wanted to buy our old computer out of the Iwanta book where we have had it posted for several weeks now. The man told me that he would like to try and connect later that evening, but he didn’t sound too sold, he called back within 2 minutes saying he definately wanted to meet last night, he was having surgery today, and he wanted to go ahead and take care of it (which means he wanted to go ahead and buy it!), so I am feeling good…then I thought to myself, hey it would be really cool if I could sell my guitar as well tonight (I had several people call about it as well), so after the gentleman came and bought the computer I called the last person who left a message about my guitar, he too wanted to come by last night as soon as he got off work…he left the house with a new to him guitar! Yeah God!!!
So…I don’t know how BIG God is to you, but He is HUGE to me! Not just because He helped me sell my computer and guitar to protect from a financial issue, but because this is how He loves us, He wants the best for us and He takes care of us…our every need, and with that comes provision in these ways…which is really cool! The cool thing is, the man who bought my computer is an associate pastor at a local church. God knew my need and he knew the need of a fellow believer and He connected us both to take care of each others needs. I believe I didn’t sell the computer until last night because we didn’t need the financial help until then, I believe God knew what was coming and He provided it in His timing and it was the right timing. God said in the book of Jeremiah that he controls the sea and the waves, He says that the waves can only go as far as He allows them to go, I again witnessed last night that it is worth serving the true and living God, the One who controls everthing! How Great is the God that you serve?
