This past week was a rough one. It felt like so many things were happening. It felt as if money was flowing out of my account like water. My friend shared this quote and I must agree, ‘in like drops and out like a waterfall’. Well, it certainly felt like a waterfall as there seemed to be so many obligations that were popping up.
By the end of the week, I just wanted to go home and relax. I even passed an acquaintance who asked if I was getting ready for the sabbath.. ‘yes.. to go home and rest’.. within seconds of passing him, I saw my car with a note. As long is it’s not a ticket – I’m fine. I pulled it off, and at about the same moment, saw my driver side mirror completely broken off with debris littering the street. A ticket might have been better.
Could this week get any worse?
I followed the directions of the note, but ended up back to the person who originally wrote it. I thanked her. It was thoughtful and she had even put it in a plastic covering so that it wouldn’t be damaged by the rain.
I got home, a bit down trodden. I felt like the week had kicked me in the shins. After settling down and complaining via text to my friend, my phone rang. Another friend showed up to my door. He came and brought newsletters for my church and some money from book sales. I’m guessing in that moment, he did not realize that He was bringing me hope and a reminder that God sees and knows all.
The newsletter contained 3 articles that were written by me. This was a prayer that I hadn’t even thought to ask for – and even if I had asked – I wouldn’t have asked for that much.
The cash was a timely reminder that God could take care of all my needs.
By the next morning, I realized that God wanted to change my perspective. He showed me that He had already taken care of the waterfall need, by filling me with lots of drops from different places.
Is there something that you need to change your perspective on too?
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that you are a God who cares about the smallest details and remind us that you can take care of every need. Thank you that while we are speaking, you have already set things in motion to show us that you care.
