Time, Part 2
This new job I took, while very giving in time, didn’t pay so well. In my complete oversight, I suddenly realized my paychecks would not cover my expenses.
I am very good with math but this one went right by me. (I am more of a calculus guy and less of a calculator guy like my brother.) All weekend I just simply prayed and asked God for guidance. I wanted to volunteer everywhere I could and I now have the time to do so. But with the lack of funds, I would have to get another job.
Perhaps God was going to send me to be a blessing to somebody who needed it. Wherever He wanted, I will go.
Monday morning I walked to my boss and just explained the situation that I wasn’t making enough to cover my bills. He told me to give him an amount that would cover it. After I gave him that amount, he responded with, “Is that all? That ain’t much.” In my world, it is more than enough.
If my Lord is trying to prove to me that He is my Provider then He has over-delivered.
How can I not chase after His heart? How can I not praise His name? How can I not give thanks to the Almighty. I would love for anybody to come take a crack at answering those questions.
You must do all those things or the rocks will.
Love our God.
LOVE that testimony!!!
“If my Lord is trying to prove to me that He is my Provider then He has over-delivered.”
This statement instantly sent chills all over me!!!
Wow Joe! Why is He so good to us?
Did your boss come through?
Oh for sure. My boss said, “Whatever you need… it is not like you are asking for something that isn’t yours”.
That is funny.
Isn’t that the same when asking for provisions such as wisdom, strength, food or shelter? Even though He provides, we have to ask for it everyday.
In my mind, that idea carried over on into serving him. LIke the song goes, “When You call I won’t refuse / Each new day again I’ll choose”.
Joe I am so glad to hear this. What awesome news! God can work miracles in any situation!
Hi joe
Hope I’ve mastered this comment leaving thing rIght! Just wanted to say thanks for your great encouragement. Sometimes it’s hard to keep my head above the water but when I feel I connect and am heard by my christian brothers and sisters it makes the burden so much easier to carry - thats the way it should be.
In Him
