4:19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Today, is one of those days where I am happy to be a Christian. Many of you know what I am talking about, that there are days that you aren't exactly happy about going through trials, temptations, and persecutions but every now and then God quits applying the pressure and let's you breath a l ittle bit and see how far you have come.
Today is one of those days. I can't say things are perfect, but I want to share with you just a few blessings that have come my way just recently. 1. Someone called me the other day and said, "Brother Todd, I want to give you my car!" In the south we like to say "Do what?" Are you sure I asked, "Yes, God wants me to give you my car." It's a nice car too! Black 2000 VW Jetta. Great gas mileage and it's clean and runs great! Last week I was crawling under my jeep and looking for the starter and tapping it with a hammer so it would crank! I don't know, God knew I needed an upgrade one that I could feel good about letting my wife and chldren ride around in. Thank you, Jesus for your kindness! Thank you, generous obedient man of God for blessing my family. 2. My house is getting worked on! Yeah! My house is totally functional, but cosmetically, it is not pretty. This week I have had siding and windows cased in etc..and it looks great! I don't mind living in "less than" but I want to be a testimony of God's grace and blessings! When others look into my life, they say, well "I've never seen the righteous forsaken or His seed begging for bread." 3. I am having a record month at work. I work comission and that lately has not been very good. It has seemed that Satan has stolen and devoured whatever I have put my hands to. Even to the point of me questioning if I am in God's will or not. But this month I am on pace to close 14 loans in one month! I have already have 10 closed/closing and only a few to go! Even if they all blow up this week it will still be a very good month! 14 loans in a month is really good! We only have 20 working days in a month. So I give God the praise for letting me breath even if it is only for a little while.
There is so much to say, about the faithfulness and the goodness of God. We don't always get what we want when we want it, but God knows what we need and has promised to supply all of our needs. Thank you, Heavenly Father for your loving kindness! Thank you, church family and friends who lovingly stand in with us y'all are a blessing to us. |
