He Has Done it Again

[stunnedbygrace]

In my shop on the 28th, I was 423 short of what I would need for rent. The 29th came. No sales. I told God at this point, charge sales of that amount wouldn't work. I would need buyers to come into my shop and buy, with cash only, 423.00 worth of merchandise if I was not to be late on the rent, since there's a wait time for the money on charges to post to my account

Guess what happened? One woman came in and purchased many items. I asked if she would pay cash or charge. I added it up and I forget what the total was, but then she handed me her charge card and a military ID, so I added a discount and it totaled 402.80. But when I pressed the charge button, it wouldn't work. I told her I would have to back out of the app and reenter everything but it would only take 2 or 3 minutes. She said, oh, its okay, don't bother, I have cash...

God almost made it? Huh uh. I went to count again this morning before I was taking the cash to the bank and suddenly had a 20 dollar bill where a 20 dollar bill wasn't yesterday, and shouldn't have been, as I never put money there. Not only was the 20 there, it was wrapped around 2 one dollar bills.

So on the 1st of July, I have my rent plus 80 cents extra. At this point, I feel He is just trying to make me laugh...:)

God is so faithful. :)

.80 cents. That's like a whole Canadian dollar's worth.

Time to splurge! :)

But seriously...praise the Lord....and keep resting in the Lord! :)

Lol! He is funny that way, isn't he ;) It's more exciting to NOT know what He will do than to get all impatient for the answer! PTL!

Hi Truth!
Yes, it's nice to hear what He is doing in our lives, especially these seemingly "random" things that happen.
It's good to see you on here :)

You know, when I used to always worry, (and not that long ago!) I couldn't find a way to take care of myself no matter how hard I tried. It all just kept falling apart more and more.

It wasn't until one day when I just set my resolve that I was going to trust Him no matter what, it began to turn around.

I feel like I always make it about temporal provision, but I can't help talking about it since it is something I always failed to trust Him for for so long. So I guess I'm still in a state of wonderment over it all, the fact that I don't have to worry. And wonderment over how I just didn't get it for so long.

Then when I finally did get it, and He always came through for me at the 11th hour, I was a little peevish, like...okay, I've got it, I trust You, You don't always have to wait till the last second!

But its...exercise for me. Over and over again, so I will keep standing firm.

And even getting to that place where I was just about the most destitute person I knew, getting to that place was all for my good, to break my feeling of safety in any kind of stockpile.

I mean, its Israel in the desert - collect only enough for the day Jen - no, but I want more, just in case you don't give me enough tomorrow - okay then, keep striving and keep getting poorer and poorer until you HAVE no choice but to trust me.

I thank God that He doesn't give in to what I want, because what I wanted was to not have to trust Him moment by moment.

Why does trust come so hard to us?? If we had any idea of the good that comes to us, we would not struggle in it so much. Yet, until we trust, the struggle remains, to get us TO trust.

It's really odd. How hard it is to get there and how peaceful it is when we do.

And overlapping that trust regarding temporal care, was a great struggle to trust also for my spiritual care and growth. I also worried about that. And soon after trust for the temporal, all I had given up worrying for in spiritual provision came back to me. I stopped wanting everything there and just determined to stay thirsty and keep trusting that my thirst was for my good. I stopped desiring closeness and stopped trying to force it, and determined to accept the thirst as His will for me. And don't you know, here came the closeness again. Here came that odd feeling again I hadn't felt in so long, that...calling out to me? that I used to love so much. But this time, there is none of the presumptuousness that I know what He's saying when He calls out to me. I just guess He will make it clear to me. Or not. I mostly just think this is training too. Almost like He's going to keep calling out to me, and I'm going to keep saying, yes, here I am Lord, until...He decides to say something I can understand. Or not.

That last part may sound crazy, but there it is. I certainly can't explain it when I barely have a grasp on it myself.

Sounds to me like you are on exactly the right track!
