Provision

A good friend of mine has said that our work is worship, we are simply to trust God for provision.

Over the last few weeks I have learned the truth in this statement. It is amazing how God provides for all of our needs when we begin to simply worship in everything we do, or at least try to.

Katie and I are getting ready to move to San Francisco to work and live with our friends, but a lot of things had to happen to make this move possible. In the beginning and at many times over the last few weeks I have been discouraged about those "things". I saw no way for them to happen, which is good because I would have probably tried to accomplish them on my own. But thankfully the answer to these "things" was always just out of my reach, so we have simply had to trust God for provision.

The first thing that had to happen was my Jeep, my beloved Jeep, had to be sold. Within days God allowed that to happen. In the beginning I had no idea where I would work, but God has allowed our friends business to pick up to the point where I will be able to begin work as soon as we get out there. I think the biggest thing was the fact that it is going to take a good amount of money to get us there, and my finite mind couldn't understand where it was going to come from. But slowly checks began to come in. I don't know how but somehow we are over halfway to our goal.

I wanted to write this now, before we reached our goal to simply give God the credit for it all. I know that I have a tendency to take credit that isn't due to me and definitely didn't want to steal it from Him. We are trusting Him to bring in the rest and to provide for all of our needs as He sees fit.

How exciting is it to know that our God is a provider? That he simply takes care of His own...What lesson can we learn from this?
