"Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." P3746
We have reached the end of another month, and I couldn't help but come here and thank Him for His protection over my life!
I know that because as I tithe, He has wonderful promises that I can rely on, because before the end of the month, I was broke and had a huge bill to pay.
Before I knew that "My God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches..." I would certainly be desperate and not knowing what to do! I remember when my husband left home and didn't hear from him, one of my biggest concerns was the household bills, how our children would continue to have the life they had β I used to see my earthly husband and I as the providers for our family! But, as I discovered Who is the Real Provider, I experienced the peace that transcends all understanding! Even when faced with this situation of not having money to pay the bills, I knew that He, my Husband and Provider, would come to my rescue β and thatβs what He did!
When I was talking to Him about how I would pay that bill, He reminded me of an amount that I had set aside a few months ago β and that I had completely forgotten about! In addition, I received a gift voucher for celebrating my anniversary at the company that I was able to convert into cash! In other words, I was able to pay that bill that I thought was impossible to pay, because He provided!!!
After thanking Him, I kept on telling Him that I would really love to give myself a present, for my anniversary at the company where I work! Then, that same day, He made me take a completely different path and I came across a thrift shop and there was a beautiful sandal and I knew that it was not my gift to myself, but His blessing to me!
Thank you, my Love, for always going further, not only supplying my needs, but also granting the desires of my heart, in so gentle and kind ways! Thank you for inviting me to live abundantly and not just survive!
Test me in this,β says the LORD Almighty, βand see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. M310
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. P41920
Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. P3746
I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. J1010
Thank you for sharing this beautiful testimony precious Paula, wow it is just awesome how our Darling Lord provides.
I was also so worried about the household bills when my spouse left and I had to pay everything on my own, but wow He really changed my life when I started to tithe. And the best part is I am not paying it on my own, He is doing it and my debts are becoming less and less, whereby it always became more, but not anymore.
It’s really amazing when we feel protect and cared by Him, isn’t it dear Janine? How blessed we areβ£οΈ
Thank you Paula l love the words that you shared thanking Him that you could live abundantly and “not just survive” its true because “just surviving” is how many of us lived before we came to know about tithing. its incredible how He showed you the money was there. l wish l could see your beautiful new sandal that He blessed you with but l know its stunning π
Yes, my dear Atarahβ£οΈ My new sandal is beautifuk and it’s a remembrance of what He did for me and not only this time, but I can tell you: “HE DID IT AGAIN! He did it and I know He is more than able to keep on doing marvellous things not just in my life but in our lives as we keep on surrendering & trusting Him and Him alone: https://restoreministriesinternational.com/surrender-and-trust/
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful testimony Paula. π
What a wonderful testimony to add to our WOT OH (Word of their Testimony Opening Heaven Book.
We add a testimony from the book every 25th so anyone can add their tithing testimony underneath and then we can add it to the book creating a wonderful net of testimonies.

Thank you, dear Paula. Your testimony about our Beloved Lord’s faithfulness to provide reminded me of the time directly after the divorce. I lost everything but began to tithe (https://encouragingwomen.org/tag/tithing/) from every little bit that came in. It wasn’t a lot, but He was still faithful, and the children and I never went through a day without having what we needed, and I was always able to pay my bills.
what an encouraging and wonderful testimony to read today, thank you! I love how He makes a way, usually a way we never even would have guessed! and he led you to a beautiful love gift! He has done the same for me, taken care of everything financially and brought me to a place of trust and freedom! hallelujah!
Thank you for sharing Paula, wow, how beautiful! Without a doubt, these types of experiences with Him make us love Him more, not for what He gives us, but because He takes care of what we need and want in detail. Your testimony makes me think that when scarcity comes, because we are His Bride, we should see it as opportunities to witness His love again, reflected in His saving/providing power. Thank you for sharing.
