My Heart's Thoughts for Today

As I sit down to write this morning, I'm about to pop out of my skin! I have been pouring out my heart to God about a particular circumstance for quite some time. He has responded and given me scripture to encourage me, and also used people to encourage me. But this week, He has just shown up big time. It seems that each devotion, each passage of scripture I read, conversations I have are all pointing in one direction. God is speaking loudly this week.

This morning in particular I sat on the couch with my mouth on the floor, amazed at the timing of one particular thing. Just amazed. Which shows me how much more I need to grown up in my faith. God tells us that when we seek Him with our whole heart we will find Him! Well beloved, He is showing off for me and I LOVE it!

This year has been so hard. Emotionally, financially, spiritually. Every area of our life has been and is still being tested. God has taken me back several years and is forcing me to rely on Him for every need. I am literally praying "give us this day our daily bread." And you know what? He is. He is providing every need. Emotionally, financially and spiritually. He is showing us that He is in the finest detail of every day. He cares about the smallest thing as well as the mountain I'm believing He will move! He is faithful, when I'm not. He is God in the good times and bad. I can't begin to understand why He allowed the events of this year to happen. But today I can honestly say that I don't need to understand. I trust Him. I believe God. He said He would never leave us or forsake us. He said He would provide for all our needs, and He has. He says that He will be with us at all times and He has been. I have been so aware of His presence that it gives me chills at times. I wouldn't trade the last few months for anything because God has showed up and showed off for us so much. He has revealed a little more of Himself to us and I don't want to go back! I hope that makes sense. :)
