God Will Provide for His Ways

"Maybe you don't have extra money but you share from what God provides you. God will reward you, and your home will not want."- Compassion International - Oliberto Morales Hernandez-Jenny Beb's pastor


         I have to remember the title off and on especially when I am down and out at times. It helps me with my anxiety and worry. It reminds me that "God will provide for His ways at His time". I really rush things here and there or I want to rush things but I remember that it isn't up to me. If it was, things would go really wrong and they have went wrong before. That's how I learned this lesson. It just hit me more when I was reading a letter from my Compassion International child's pastor. He ended with the above saying. It kind of got me thinking about sponsoring another child from there too.
         I might not have the extra money that I need for life or even to sponsor another child but what is more important. Money or the child? I think the more I share of what I have now the more that God will give me in the long run whether it is money that He is paying back or just good material things or other things. I just know that God always gives back. He will always provide when the tough gets going. To me, when the tough gets going because we are honoring Him or trying to then He will be grateful to us.
         Something that I have thought about a lot this past month or so is buying and owning a house of my own. I know that is going to be tough and cost a lot of money but I also know it is going to be worth it. I have thought about only going back to sponsoring one child for now and saving the other $38.00 dollars for a house but then I get to thinking, "God will provide if He wants both to be done". I also just think that if I can get a house I could use it in so many ways for Him and maybe that will blessed Him even more. Not sure exactly how I am going to do that yet but I'm thinking on it.
         I also had to think of the title a lot because of my low paying job right now that is my passion and my dreams even. God will provide for His ways and everything in His Timing. We just have to remember that and not be so in a rush to get there. We don't need to have a schedule. I will be honest with you, I am going on my 5 years, in August, of living in AR and I am nowhere I planned to be but that doesn't mean that I hate where I am now. God has used some many events and people to get me where I am and I am thankful for that. It was nothing like I planned and I will say it again later in the year but I am grateful for that.
         The quote at the start of this entry was just a good reminder for me that God does provide in His time and in His ways. It might be everyday that I have to remind myself of that quote or a shorter version of the quote but it does help me get through some of the rough patches. When I think that I need a house now because all of my friends have actual houses or I need a guy right now or so on, I say this quote and it just brings peace back into my mind. It helps me remember that God has everything under control and what better why to have it. There is no better way, right?
         It is strange how something so simple and repeated so many times, can have such a impact on the life you are living right now. I know that this saying is one of many people's saying to just shove things off and try to make things okay for you and try a help you sort things out. I mean I have heard it a lot from other people but it does something different when you can say it to yourself and then believe it in for yourself. It is like you are saying it to yourself when you know you truly need it and that it will truly help you in the situation you are in. Get what I am saying?
         I probably have had this entry planned for about a month or little over a month now and I am finally getting around to writing it. I will say that overtime I looked on this blog and see that I still haven't wrote the entry, I would still reread the title and ask myself, "do I need to really write about this or can I delete it and write another entry about something else since it has been so long ago?" It was the last one that I haven't wrote yet in my draft folder. That is how long I had this idea if that tells you anything. Here I am writing the entry because it is still touching my heart and I think it will for a little while longer or at least until I feel at peace about where I am in life right now.
         I hope this entry will encourage some other people to wait on God's Timing because He will provide for us what we need at the right time in His own Ways. We can have everything planned and figured out but God is the last person who gets a say in everything in our lives or at least He should be the last person to get that call. I know He is in mine now. Is He the person who get the last call in your life?
