♕ Today's Promise: "Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" Matthew 6:27
~ Liora in Texas
I want to praise my HH (Heavenly Husband) for all that He does to take care of me daily. He continues to faithfully provide to cover my bills and buy things that I need like groceries, gas for my car and even my heart's desires. I have to confess that sometimes I do worry if I have enough but He continues to show me to just let go and believe that He is faithful to take care of me. When I start to doubt I can feel Him holding my hand and telling me to just trust Him.
So why do I worry about anything? I suppose it's because I've always liked to plan ahead and have control of my finances but He doesn't have me living like that anymore. In all reality I never really had control, I just thought I did and my own bad decisions would disrupt His good plans for me. So sometimes He has to just let us be and that leads us to a place where we are just exhausted and surrender to learn that we need to leave Him in control. He tells us to trust Him to help us. We do not have to be fearful because He has already promised victory.
A few weeks ago my sister and nieces were excited that a particular store was opening in our city. They planned to go shopping for the grand opening and to have lunch. I wasn't very excited about going, I really don't shop much anymore like I use to just buy and buy. But i went to spend time with them. I wasn't planning on buying anything. We got there and we were all looking around and everything was so nice and pretty.
A cardigan caught my eye, it looked very comfortable and nice and I could wear it with so many different things. I debated whether to buy it or not. I kept looking around but always came back to this sweater. So I asked my HH (Heavenly Husband) if I should get it because it was a little more than I wanted to spend. So then right after, one of the store workers came around and handed me a coupon for my first purchase. 🙂 My HH knew I was hesitant so He gave me a push to buy it! We then had a nice lunch and I really enjoyed my time with them and I didn't have to worry about anything because He provided. He cares so much about even the little things that our heart wants, He just gives and gives.
I also have an important Dr's appt. coming up and I missed it last year so it is very important that I go this time. It has been 2 yrs since I have seen this Dr. I travel to another city many hrs away to get there. So of course worry started to cloud my mind about the finances to pay for this because I do not have insurance.
But you know what my HH (Heavenly Husband) says? He says I have His ASSURANCE and that's all I need! He reminded me of when I went 2 yrs ago and I had no way to pay but with a credit card I had. My niece traveled with me and she was there when I paid upon leaving the office. She was on the phone with her boyfriend and he asked her how much I paid for the appt. He then sent me the amount of the bill I had just paid with my credit card plus a little extra through a money app on my phone. I was so surprised and very thankful to him. Of course back then I was not walking so close with Him so I missed that my HH was the one who provided for that Dr. appt. through someone else. I missed that He made a way but now it was time for Him to show me.
I just want to thank my Beloved for being so faithful to me even when I didn't see it was Him! He is so good and loving even when I doubt. He lets me feel Him and assures me that He is with me every step of the way. Now before I begin my day, I invite Him to be a part of it and I ask for guidance on my decisions, thoughts, words and mindset so that I can live a life that He has purposed for me.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?" Matthew 6:25
"Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" Matthew 6:27
"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear? These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs." Matthew 6:31- 32
