God will provide

Jehovah-Jireh. It means God will provide. This morning I read my morning devotional which was on Abraham. It was all about how even at his lowest point, as he was about to sacrifice his son Isaac, he was still looking to God and trusting He would provide. Which He did. But the point is Abraham chose to do nothing but trust and hope and be confident in His God, our God, the only God who will provide what we need when we need it. He sees the future and sees what we will need and when. He will not part the seas until we need to have them parted, all we have to do is trust that he will part them, because that is the caring God He is, the God who provides for our every need. Emphasis on the need not want.

I shared my testimony today in front of the biggest group I have to yet. Every time I share I realize something new God had orchestrated in my life, another instance where he provided just what I needed to get me where I am. Today's theme of my testimony turned out to be that He will provide, which He does.

Senior year of college when my Dads health was in chaos, guess how God provided: he made the rest of my life stable, in the terms of jobs, school, and the ability to move home to spend time with my parents. He provided stability when my life seemed in complete instability. Right now, my future is quite uncertain, but Dad's health is stable. Funny how things work out, funny how God knows us better than we can know ourselves.

So praise Jehovah-Jireh, and trust that when the time is right He will part the seas and show us the next step.
