God Will Provide



   



Do you sometime forget that God is handling your troubles?  You're not alone. Abraham knew all too well about God providing for him, but, every now and then, he forgot the lesson.  God told Abraham he would have his own son. Abraham forgot that promise.  How can a man start out walking, not knowing where to go and get there to forget God took him there and blessed him?

We all have lapses of memory from time-to-time. When God tells you He has your back, He means it. It doesn't matter what the circumstance look like, God is not slack concerning his promises like men (2 Pet 3:9).  Do you know why that is? Because his credibility is on the line and He doesn't want you to lose your soul.  He gives you everything you need to succeed. Look at Abraham story:

     God told Abraham to go the land of Moriah, and offer his only son Isaac as a burnt offering on one of the mountains he tell him. Abraham got up early, saddled the donkey and took two men with him. When Abraham got where God told him to go, he told the two men something strange:  Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.” 

Question: How did he know he was coming back with the boy? He believed God had a plan.

Abraham took wood,
and laid Isaac on it.

Now That was a boy that loved his father. I would have been running for my life.

Isaac, however, did question the situation saying, "My father!”

Abraham answers, “Here I am, my son.”

Isaac said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

Abraham said, “My son, God will provide.

     Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.   Some handle stress, murder, thief, home fires, hurricanes with their hands in God's hand, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why bad things happens.  There's nothing you can do about it. You can trust that God has a plan.  Tragedies teaches life lessons. The quicker you learn the lessons, the sooner you see relief. Many times the lesson is to get you to talk to the Father. If nothing bad ever happens to you, would you talk to the Father?  Trials are purpose driven to bring you closer to the Creator and designed to mature you spiritually. Therefore, don’t worry over what has happen nor what will happen; just know God will provide when it happens. Just like He provided Jesus to die for our sins. That sin issue we had, God took care of that. SMH
God provides!

I Got You!

Do you remember going to the arcades? You and your friends’ old rendezvous spot, battling for the top spot in one of the popular games. While you guys horsed around, a group of troublemakers bullied their way onto the machines? Your posy band together vowing to have each other’s back.  Now days, every man for himself. Someone will call 911 for you, any more than that would be heroic (Romans 5:7).  No one takes on any man’s cause anymore. The back-in-the-day phrase was "I got your back." 

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

I Didn't See That Coming

Arriving at work, I put my lunch bag in the refrigerator, fired up the computer and  entered my logged on.  The phone rang.  "This is Ms. Swanson," I told the caller.  "Yes, right away."  I hung up the phone, reached for my keys and raced downstairs asking God to provide what I need from the spiritual realm. I wasn’t sure what I would run up against. A policeman was at my car writing a ticket. One of the sergeants’ saw my handicap placard on the seat and called me to come down quickly. While racing to the car, I noticed my IPhone watch on my arm. I wasn't allowed to wear it at work, especially with security violation written all over the action. I forgot to take it off! Supposed someone saw it, I could lose my job. Right at that moment I remembered to get my retainer from my purse when I put it in the truck. It could melt in the heat, costing a replacement cost of $300. All I can say is, "I didn't see that...
