The Last Walk Through…
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. I was thinking this morning about the lunch time I was walking into a local store, and a dollar bill was folded up outside on the ground by the front door in an odd place. I picked it up and said to my friend, I wonder what God wants me to buy with this. I know people that have bought buildings for $1.00 I told her. Most generally if I find anything I would turn it into a customer service desk. This time seemed different. It was outside, folded up, in a corner like it was placed there just for me. Hmmmm.
I was telling a friend recently about a yard sale I was involved in years ago. I was part of a ministry that needed money. I walked through my home and inquired of God if there was anything that I had missed to donate that was mine that would be meaningful to someone. I remember that last walk through after having my little red Ford Escape packed up. Two more items were highlighted to me. I had two small pillows with a gold braided rope hanging from a shelf in my kitchen. One said trust in the Lord with all thine heart and not lean on thine own understanding. The other pillow said I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I put them in the car and drove to the sale.
Driving home I inquired of God once again. God this makes no sense, I talked it out with him, other than I love you. I donated my items and now I purchased items and filled my car back up with things I don’t really need or want- just to help a struggling ministry. I heard nothing back that day, but knew I was on a trust God journey.
Even when we don’t understand, when things don’t look like what we thought, we have a God in whom we can place our all our trust. I have seen him multiply dollars and make things possible that were impossible with man. If you are walking with Jesus today, tell yourself two things and get ready for a great day.
I am going to trust God with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Ready for a great day?
Let’s Pray:
Father, thank you that you are a Good Father. You love us beyond what our minds can fathom. Ephesians 3:17-20 Paul tells us this: I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Father, we put all our trust in you. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. Psalm 20:7 Amen.
Have a blessed day God’s most beautiful people. You are loved with an everlasting love. (Jeremiah 31:3) He is a God that can be trusted.
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is his faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23.
