God’s Provision

We can trust God to always provide even when we don’t know how it can possibly happen. God is always there, always desiring the best for His children.

Times can get hard because life is hard. But no matter what, before the hard times come, we need to purpose in our hearts that we will trust God’s provision and continue to rejoice. He has given us a Savior, the gift of eternal life and a relationship with our Creator. Everything else is just extra, as they say, the cherry on top.

Do we look at all we have and have confidence that we will continue to have it tomorrow and all of the tomorrows to come? Do we recognize that all we have comes from the God who is blessing us. Thus we learn to depend on God and not on things. The things we have may vanish, but God remains steadfastly beside us.

Called to Simplicity

The longer I live, the more stuff I accumulate. Not on purpose…it just seems to stick around, find a small niche to occupy and stays there until I recognize that I have not used it in a while, so I should pass it along to someone who will get use out of it. I like the idea presented here that Jesus calls us to balance and simplicity. We are body, soul and spirit, a combination of the three that make us work together and flourish in God’s kingdom. It is easy to be caught up into materialism. Remember the old song from Madonna, “I’m A Material Girl.” Yes, she was and still is, more’s the pity. The one with the most toys still dies and faces judgment from God, so what is the point of accumulating more than others just so you can say that you have more? There’s a lot to say for being content with what you need and not always grasping for what you think you want because others have it. It’s all about keeping our eyes on God, recognizing His provision and being content.
