Last night I was talking to one of my best friends about finances. I told her about how it can be so easy to let fear overtake me. All I see in the media is how the economy is going down in flames; unemployment in my state is 6 percent, 800 people are about to get laid off, Washington Mutual had to get bailed out, my state has one of the highest gas prices, the Dow Jones is the world’s largest yo-yo right now….on and on. It looks pretty grim for someone like me who is wondering how in the world will all the money I need come in, how in the world will I be able to take care of all the pre-trip stuff? Guess what? I know that what I’m doing is not of this world, that’s how it will happen, how it will come together for me. I told her after the tirade of how bad the economy is, that fear was trying to interfere with my life…I then proceeded to tell her that no matter what happens I CHOOSE to believe God, MY Jehovah Jireh! It comes down to a choice, choosing to believe God or not. I do choose to believe Him, at the very beginning when I first got accepted I asked God how it will all come together and he told me “I AM, the God of all resources.” The great thing is, it’s true He is! Last night I reaffirmed in my life, that I do believe the God of all resources.
Today I went about getting some things I needed for training (including a Hobo Tool!). Tonight as I was sorting through things to pack up I got a phone call from a friend who said they would like to give me money that would take care of almost all of the pre-trip costs. God had laid it on their heart to do so. I couldn’t help but giggle a bit as I said, “This is a huge answer to prayer!” Praise God for obedient people! I didn’t expect to have my choice of choosing to believe HIM reinforced so quickly, but I sure am glad that it was. I know I can trust Almighty God in this and I know He will surpass my expectations.
Jehovah Jireh -HE IS MY PROVIDER!
