Many years ago, as I laid in bed, crying at the prospect that my friend would not be able to afford school the next semester – which was fast approaching, I heard a whisper, ‘ye of little faith’. I can now confidently look back and say this was the first time I heard the Lord speak to me.
The very next day, she called to tell me that her dad was going to be able to pay her tuition. This was a pretty big deal based on all the circumstances.
Fast forward to today, as I’m reading a new devotion from the Bible App. The scriptural reference is Matthew 6:25-33, and I’m not sure if it’s the first time I’m recognizing it, but it certainly does feel like the first time, that, this is the specific place that that whisper came from.
It’s said in other places of scripture, but, I am confident that, this passage was the reference.
Why am I so confident?
Because yesterday, as I mentally worried ‘am I where I’m supposed to be?’ ‘Am I doing enough?’ ‘What more should I be doing?’
As I read this passage and specifically Matthew 6:29-30 ‘Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you – you of little faith?
I realized that there was a specific reason I was brought to this particular passage of scripture.
As I contemplated my circumstances 25 years ago and I compared my current circumstances, I realize it is quite remarkable. God has done exceedingly abundantly more than I could think ask or imagine. It is a sobering reminder that if he did it for the 19-year-old version of me, he can do it for this version of me even more so.
Will you join me and be reminded that there is nothing too hard for the Lord to do and whatever you are worrying about today that you can place it in His capable hands.
Dear Heavenly Father, I am so grateful that you are the same God yesterday, today and forevermore. I sit in awe of how much you have done in my life and yet the instructions and promises continue to be exactly as I need.
Ps.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
