Jehovah-Jireh

God is my provider. A quote from today's devotional from Chuck Swindoll "God's direction includes God's provision." How very true this is. God never sets us up to fail. God does not send us and then abandon us. God is never surprised, confused or uncertain. If we remember this - if we truly believe what He says, then we need not worry about tomorrow.

The devotional continues...

"Sometimes we settle into a humdrum routine as monotonous as growing cotton year after year," says Vance Havner, in his book, It Is Toward Evening, himself a seasoned old saint of God at the time he wrote these words. "Then God sends the boll weevil; He jolts us out of our groove, and we must find new ways to live. Financial reverses, great bereavement, physical infirmity, loss of position---how many have been driven by trouble to be better husbandmen and to bring forth far finer fruit from their souls! The best thing that ever happened to some of us was the coming of our 'boll weevil.' ... We have to learn to trust God one day at a time"

blessings on your day.
