β Today's Promise: "If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 4:11
So much has changed with this whole world wide epidemic, but I want to share my Heavenly Husband's faithfulness throughout it all. It has been over 2 months now that my area has been on mandatory quarantine. Although my city is opening up slowly, we still have many restrictions we need to obey.
When it started my Heavenly Husband supplied two very large paying jobs which we were able to complete before we shut down for 2 weeks. Although my business is considered essential, my earthly husband and I were led to give our workers this time to be home and safe with their families. During our 2 weeks closed it was very quiet and I received very few phone calls regarding our business.
Getting closer to the end, my earthly husband shared his concern about the need to get back to work and also provide for his workers. I always give it to my Heavenly Husband as I know He provides in His time. Two days before the end of the 2nd week, I received and scheduled a full week of work for the shop. It amazed me how many calls I received. Even though we do not have the same workflow as before, every week since then, my earthly husband does his best to make sure our workers get their weekly pay to bless them and their families.
We also were informed that our landlord was giving us 2 months of free rent and he would just extend our lease for 2 additional months at the end. I was in shock, what a weight lifted knowing this.
Also, at the end of this month I wasn't able to receive the financial blessing I usually get. In my head it kept telling me I was OK if I couldn't bless the other ministries because of this. When I went to my Heavenly Husband, I could feel Him telling me to GIVE, even more when there is lack. SO I did and within 1 week, I received a check from the IRS for almost double than what I normally get.
I know these are unknown times for many, but we are His Brides and as long as we continue to seek Him, He will guide us in the right path to make the right decisions.
"If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 4:11 (NIV)
