Looking Back-God Will Take Care Of Us

This morning I was sitting in our sun room,watching the birds so eagerly eating food at the feeder.  Seems like there are so many lessons to be learned from birds.  There is a pecking order for sure.  A oriole was being pushed back out of the way by a tiny  little sparrow.  I thought it was kind of funny considering oh big the oriole is.  But than I thought of David and the giant.  The giant laughed when he saw David come out to do battle.

As I sat there for my morning devotions, I considered some of the needs that I and others have.  Those birds come flocking to the feeder because they expect food to be there.  If the food is not there, God has still provided for them. There is seed in the grass and surrounding flowers.






Mat 6:26

Do we come to God expecting? Our heavenly Father tells us we are so much better than the birds.  I am reminded of a time in our marriage when  John had lost his job and we had no money, for housing or food or gas.  We saw God provide for us in ways we didn't think possible.  From unheard of directions.  Nevertheless God provided for us.    Because of proving God a match for the difficult times, I know nothing is too hard for my God.

The secret?  Put God first. We paid our tithes first.  We trusted God even when we didn't understand. Jumped up with our testimony of how good it was to serve God.

Lessons we learned? God became our Redeemer, our Father, friend, healer and provider.  We learned that if God did it for us that time , He would do it again.  We learned it was not important for us to have the answers.  But we learned that God already had the answers.


Going thru difficult times is not fun or easy but it enables you to become a victorious christian.
