Well, I went to work last night cuz the guy who was working was not feeling well. I had the chance to get 12 hours of OT by sleeping...who wouldn't do that? Anyway, I have been thinking. Today is a new day from yesterday. The bible says that God's mercies are new every day. PRAISE GOD! Often my attitude needs His mercy! Sometimes, I get down on my situation and think, "is God going to come through and provide like He said He would?" Then I read where the word says "My God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory." here is my take on that scripture...
He has promised to supply our NEEDS not our wants. This means that He will indeed give us what we need to survive and to be productive. Often we tend to think that if things are not as they once were, then we no longer have God's favor. I tend to think that way too, but then God shows up in my prayer time and reminds me that my NEEDS are being met according to His will, not mine. Anything short of having the faith to trust God to supply our needs, constitutes dependence on ourselves. I choose to enter the new day with my hands out of my pockets and held open to God, who if we are paying attention, is indeed putting everything we NEED right into those outstretched hands. -DJ

My favorite scripture is Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart." And I feel that I do. Then, I find myself worrying over things that I have no control over and realize I don't do as good trusting in Him as I thought. I've been home sick the past two days and have worried about my short paycheck at the end of the month....thanks for the reminder that He will take care of me if I just let him!
