And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. F419
Dear Brides,
It is so wonderful to experience the blessings of tithing again and again. This month I received another financial blessing and when He gives me a financial blessing, I seek Him to ask what I should do with it. He told me to buy a few things, to bless the children with some extra treats because it is vacation. He led me to bless someone who is in need.
But in the meantime my laptop also gave me problems now for the third time. I have had my laptop repaired twice. My own plan was to see if I could solve it myself and otherwise I wanted to bring my laptop in for repair that same day. I wanted my problem solved as soon as possible. I could not solve the problem myself and was so upset that it would cost me money again. I told Him my frustrations. I gave tithe, which saved me from the devourer? Why then does my laptop break down for the umpteenth time? I am so thankful that He told me that it happened because I had to learn not to always solve things myself. Every time I have a problem I want to solve it myself as quickly as possible, often it goes wrong or I make it worse. He told me to leave my laptop alone and wait until He told me what to do.
Last week I also suddenly had problems with my car and my battery turned out to be broken. For a moment I felt panic rising in me, previously laptop now my car, what is going on? But He gave me peace and told me that He had everything under control and that I should not worry about the costs. The roadside assistance got the car's engine going again and I had to drive straight to the garage. My car had a special battery that is more expensive than a normal one, but I was so thankful that I had the space to pay for the repair because He had given me a financial blessing. I was also thankful that I had not spent it on repairing my laptop! Dear brides, He is so faithful and good because when I paid the invoice for the repair of my car, I also received a big discount without asking for it!
Now back to my laptop, the day after I had the car repaired, I myself had planned to save myself this month with a laptop that was not working properly. I had now had so many expenses and I am also going away for a day with my mother next weekend.
But my Beloved Heavenly Man had another plan. He told me to buy a new computer, I could always have my laptop repaired again. He told me that a computer is much nicer because I can put it upstairs in the office and I can work there in peace. But when I looked at the balance on my bank account, I could not believe that He said that to me. I then have too little left to make ends meet. During the day He kept urging me to come to the computer, while I was busy relaxing with crocheting, His voice kept sounding in my heart, "Hanna! now you still haven't bought that computer." Why don't you do what I say, I will take care of you. Don't worry about what you will eat or what you will drink, I know exactly what you need.
“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? M625
I was really afraid to buy a computer, but I couldn't help but do it, because He insisted so much and I wanted to trust Him with all my heart. Now I am so incredibly grateful that He urged me to buy a computer. A day after buying the computer, another unexpected financial blessing came. Because of which I didn't have to be afraid of coming up short.
I can't find the words to express how grateful I am and how great my trust in Him has become. I can trust Him, in everything He says, even though in my eyes it is simply irresponsible to buy something so big. He looks at my situation in His divine way. We cannot fathom what His plans are. But I do know that He teaches me to trust Him at His word, and not to doubt but to believe. Dear brides, I want to encourage you to trust Him, to follow Him in the things He asks you to do. You will then experience wonderfully rich blessings!
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. P328
