I Will Provide

On Saturday I had to throw out a soap dispenser that had broken.  I was going to buy another one next time I went to the store.

No one here knew it broke and I had pitched it.  The following day my daughter Jill's boyfriend comes over and has something for me.  He said he had some soap for us.  I looked at him puzzled and said, "Soap?"  He said that his mother works at Bath and Body Works and she gave him liquid foaming soap and dispenser to give to us!  He said he thought it was odd too.

It really didn't dawn on me until I walked into the bathroom and remembered that I did need one.  Then I heard... "See, I will provide!"

Oh my goodness Lord, you are so good!  Then I was led to randomly open my "Jesus Calling" (by Sarah Young) devotional to pg. 113...

"Peace is my continual gift to you.  It flows abundantly from My throne of grace.  Just as the Israelites could not store up manna for the future but had to gather it daily, so it is with My Peace.  The day-by-day collecting of manna kept My people aware of their dependence on Me.  Similarily, I give you sufficient Peace for the present when you come to me by prayer and petition with thanksgiving.  If I gave you permanent Peace, independent of My Presence, you might fall into the trap of self-sufficiency.  May that never be!"

"I have designed you to need Me moment by moment.  As your awareness of your neediness increases, so does your realization of My abundant sufficiency.  I can meet every one of your needs without draining My resources at all.  Approach My throne of grace with bold confidence, receiving My Peace with a thankful heart." End of passage

Like Blessed Mother had said to Luz de Maria...

"Open your spiritual eyes so that you see the miracles that are constantly occurring before your eyes." 

What a loving and caring Father we have!
