--"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, and who have been called according to his purpose"-[Romans 8:28 NIV]
~~ONE SUNDAY AFTER church, my husband's aunt requested his help with a leaking faucet. Since we had plans to visit a new Thai restaurant for dinner, I went home to wait on John's return.The time to repair his aunt's plumbing took longer than John expected. And as I sat on the couch waiting, my stomach began to growl from hunger. I had two options. I could cook dinner or jump in the car to purchase our meal at a nearby fast-food restaurant. Neither option was desirable.
Right when I opened a carton of milk to prepare a bowl of cereal, the phone rang. It was my neighbor Mrs. Ward. "Alice," she said, "I made stuffed cabbage and corn bread for John and you."
I thanked her, slipped on my shoes, and ran across the street to receive her kindness. I love stuffed cabbage! My mother used to cook that, one I seldom cook. It is always a winner!
Jesus told the disciples that God knows what we need before we ask for it (Matthew 6:8). And on that Sunday, my Lord's intimate knowledge of my hunger and His immediate ability to command the arrival of sustenance became apparent to me. What do I know for sure? Jesus is forever ready to feed our needs. And oftentimes, He supplies our wants. I am confident the Lord's faithfulness will see us through. ~~
"Thank You, Lord, that You know what we need and also what we desire. Thank You for supplying both. We give you praise, honor, and glory.
