My Heavenly Love cares for me at all times!
I was led to tithe years ago. My Love has made it easy for me to do--logical and wise, even when my funds are tight. He has shown me, repeatedly, that He takes care of me. When I have failed to tithe in the past, it has been because of a chaotic time or distraction. HE has made it easy for me. I have sins that I struggle with repeatedly, but He has not had me struggle with tithing. My former husband learned to tithe from a good pastor.
So, when my FH called me to say that his banking account had been hacked and all his money had been removed, I was surprised, but I was more curious than afraid, curious at what the LORD had to show us. This was in spite of the fact that I had just had some big expenses and was expecting a maintenance check from my FH to refill my checking account, plus I was leaving town in a few days. So when my FH told me that no funds would be deposited, I was not afraid, nor upset.
I was really curious as to how my Love was going to use this situation. My FH was upset, as he had just purchased a very expensive piece of equipment and had had other big expenses. My Love led me to say, "You trust in God; He will come through."
Several days later, he texted me to tell me that the bank had managed to find where the funds had been moved, but that it could take another pay period to get the funds transferred to the right accounts. I praised God in my text back, and then my FH called me immediately, wanting to pray right then on the phone with me!
I was out of town with no computer, so I didn't check my accounts until I returned. Amazingly, the funds had only been slightly delayed and my next maintenance check was on time, as scheduled. Of course, I tithed both deposits as soon as I saw them.
This morning, I was feeling a bit stale in my praise of Him. I like to praise Psalm 145 every morning, but it was feeling rote for the first time. I went on to read my read-through the Bible scripture for the day, and right there was David's praise of God, as he prepared supplies for Solomon to build the temple.
I got out my index card to copy and memorize this praise.
He provides! He provides! If we trust IN HIM ALONE, He provides!
“Blessed are You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone. Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name" 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 (NASB)
Everything is HIS! He controls it ALL!
He will give us ALL that we need and will bless us, if we turn to Him and trust in Him!
