Blessings!

So Dani and I were pondering and praying through this line of thought (the previous post when Jesus says “don’t worry about what you eat, drink or WEAR”) and boy did God blow our socks off on Monday afternoon (after the previous post).

Dani had gotten far enough along in her pregnancy that she needed new clothes, particularly pants. We made plans to go out and pick up ONE pair of pants in the afternoon. Around 2 PM I was sitting on the couch, waiting for Dani to get ready before we left. Literally two minutes before we were to walk out the door we received a call from a maternity clothing store…some one had anonymously given us a $ 150 gift card! WOW!!

God is good…all the time!

Our God, our Jesus is SO worthy to keep our gaze upon (remember Tozer’s definition of faith).

“See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?”

I wonder what would happen if we lived like this in ALL areas of our life and ministry. Surley Jesus did not mean this to stay on some surface level of our existence but to penintrate the very core of who we are, down to our souls. To live any other way is to reject Jesus and say to Him, “I don’t need you in this area of my life. I know better how to handel this person or situation or project or ministry. I do not need to be dependant on you.” HOW FOOLISH…

This will stand in our minds to the power of God and when we seek after Him all these things will be added.
