Jehova Jireh-The Lord Who Provides

God never ceases to surprise me. When life seems the hardest and trust seems distant He shows up in the sweetest, most encouraging ways; through a note from a distant friend, a box in the mail, a verse in the Bible, a quote, through the smallest a greatest of things. I want to have a child-like faith and trust and know that I will be taken care of. He proves day in and day out His faithfulness and I have no reason to doubt that He is good, I am blessed to know such a Father.

I have a horrible case of "poverty mentality" ant it's stealing the greatness of the blessings I have. Jehova Jireh is a part of God I want to know and live by. He is my provider and I his child. Even without a set income and working like the rest of world I can live a good life, I live by a God who is faithful and compassionate. He guides is in what is best for who we are.


Here's a funny story from Yiddish tradition that I read in "Ruthless Trust," I thought it went well with my thoughts for the day. haha

"One day Israel Schwartz asked God, 'Yahweh, is it true that for you a thousand years is just a minute?'

Yahweh answered, 'Yes, Izzy, that is true.'

Izzy had a second question: 'And Yahweh, is it true that for you a million dollars is just a penny?'

Yahweh replied, 'Yes, Izzy, that also is true.'

Extending his right hand with palm upturned, Izzy Schwartz said, 'Yahweh give me a penny.'

And Yahweh said, 'Certainly, it'll only take a minute.'"


Our God is big.
