Jehovah-Jireh my provider,
His grace is sufficient for me, for me, for me
Jehovah-Jireh my provider,
His grace is sufficient for me.
My God shall supply all my needs
According to His riches in glory,
He will give His angels charge over me.
Jehovah-Jireh cares for me, for me, for me,
Jehova-Jireh cares for me

~Merla Watson

It is so good to be in the presence of the Lord. I am not familiar with the above song, however I am familiar with Jehovah-Jireh (Our Provider) Isn't GREAT that we have a God that provides for every need and even desires that we may have. I really liked what Pastor said today:
"If you are to be a success in life, God's word can't be the dessert but the main meal"
Isn't that neat!! When I think about how Jehovah-Jireh wants to bless us and provide a way for us, we must be in tune with Him and his word in order for that provision to be made available to us. Whether it is success in our jobs, school, marriage or life altogether!! Ok, I guess I got inspired!! hehehe here is the actual devotional from the devotional book Songs 4 Worship Day 3: Jehovah-Jireh

       Do we truly believe that Jehovah-Jireh (which means "God our provider") cares for us? We may say that we trust Him, but...

       So we work hard to save money to buy a car, a house, and a quality education for our children. While such planning is not bad, it can become a problem if having our needs met is not enough and we feel that we must assuage all our desires as well.

       God our Provider promises to supply all our needs. What are our needs?  Food, clothing, and shelter are life's most basic needs.  Does God provide these? We would probably have to answer that yes, indeed, we have food, clothing, and shelter - that God has rpovided for us. While He may not have met all our desires, He has indeed met all our needs.

      But even more important than Jehovah-Jireh's provision for our physical needs is His provision for our spiritual need. He has provided grace that is sufficient to fill the longing in our hearts for God. It is by His grace alone that we can come to Him.

       Unlike the rendy clothes, gourmet food, and fancy house, grace is free and it is eternal. We don't have to earn it. We can't purchase it. It is offered as a gift. And it is ours -forever.

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Well my dear family I pray we continue to draw closer to God this week as we face our lives. Let's continue to trust in His provision for He is able!! Amen
Love
Jose

I had a Jehovah-Jireh experience this weekend that will probably sound silly to most but it meant a lot to me.

I have a lot of cats, and Friday night I realized I was low on cat litter. (Bad thing!) I was planning to go see my friend Lynne on Saturday, so I made a mental note that I needed to go buy litter after our visit. The Lord broke into this thought and told me that Lynne would give me some litter. Okay...

Lynne works with animal rescue groups and fosters just about any kind of animal you can imagine until it is placed in a home or rehabilitated to go back into the wild. While I was there another lady also involved in rescue called and had gotten some donations of food and other supplies for the rescue folks, and told Lynne to come get what she needed. She commented that her husband was busy with his truck, so she did not know how she could get the supplies from her. I reminded her that I had my truck and I could help her out. It turns out that most of what this lady had for 'supplies' was cat litter, and it was the kind I use rather than the kind Lynne used. I not only ended up with some litter, I ended up with a truckload of litter! She also had a couple of 35 pound bags of the special food the dog eats and she gave those to me too. (So I don't have to buy dog food for 2 to 3 months! Woo hoo!!) There were things there that Lynne used, but most of it was what I needed. The truck was creaking and groaning as we drove because it was so full, and it is able to haul 2000 pounds. He is so able to do exceedingly abundantly!

God wants to bless us in the everyday things, and in things that don't mean anything to anyone except us. I am His favorite child! You are His favorite child! And "if you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!" (Matt. 7:11) And on Saturday, I didn't even ask...

Blessings!
