God's Provision

The Lord is faithful in meeting all my needs. It has been seventeen years since the Lord called me to serve Him full-time. Since then, He has been gracing me to never look back. Come what may, He has been leading me through thick and thin, and faithfully and bountifully has been supplying me with all my needs. These needs are not just physical, they are spiritual, psychological, and in fact, all-inclusive. 

There are numerous accounts in which the Lord had been leading me, on and on. To be more specific, He even led me to meet my practical and physical needs. Last month April and this month May are the months where I have to spend a lot on my three children's education. The monthly fees itself for one is already high, and now I have to bear for three. And at the beginning of a new academic year, annual fees have to be paid, which is even higher. When the time for paying the fee came, this time due to the global pandemic, a huge chunk of the annual developmental fee was withheld. With the support and the offering the Lord provided, I could manage with the children fee without any lack. The Lord knew best how to limit the needed expense and also to provide all my needs.

Besides, I had been using a phone for over three years which needed an urgent replacement. But I tried to repair and use it as long as I could. But a week ago the phone was giving trouble due to the battery and other issues. Even the software used had become obsolete and the company had dumped this model for newer models. I had been contemplating buying a new phone and did some online research. But when my old phone broke down I had no choice but to buy a new phone. The Lord knew well that I needed to buy a new phone. Exactly on the same day the phone broke and I decided to buy a new phone I received an offering that was sufficient to buy a new phone. In fact, I was waiting for the release of a new model, but that day, I felt deep within that I simply had to buy whatever was available. 

After fifty days of lockdown due to pandemic, a mobile shop was just reopened, and the phone that would meet my need within my budget was found. Without any hesitation I bought it. The phone then became very useful for my online meetings and other shepherding related activities.  

This kind of provision from the Lord is not new to me. But this experience was truly worth mentioning because the background and the way in which the Lord provided was too spectacular not to record it.

Praise the Lord for His provision!

In fact, last Lord's day during the young people meeting, I shared this experience to encourage them in their trusting in the Lord and showing them by example how to live by faith.

Praise the Lord for His provision!
