My God Shall Supply All My Needs

Welcome back!

It is a verse I’ve read many times,

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:19 KJV

No matter how many times I’ve read it, I must admit I have still found myself questioning it, still sitting at my desk adding the numbers and trying to make them work myself. Even though I’ve seen more times than not in my 10 years of marriage where God has done his “miracle math” supplying all our needs.

Tonight God supplied one of his “miracles” for us, it may not seem like or sound like a miracle when you here it but to me it was… tonight as we were leaving to go with my in-laws to eat pizza for my daughter’s birthday (she’ll be 3 on Tuesday) our van wouldn’t start. My husband immediately thought it was the battery. We had my father-in-law give us a boost and on the way for pizza we went to Auto Zone for a battery.

“How much will this cost?” I inquired of my husband on the way, he mentioned we had gotten the battery not even 3 years ago when our van had the same mishap just before a family vacation. I remembered and we talked about how short of a life the battery had lived.

We arrived at the Auto Zone, my husband went inside and soon came back out motioning for me to pull up to the front of the store. The worker was with him toolbox in one hand, new battery in the other. I yelled out the door to my husband, “do you need my checkbook?” He replied, “Shouldn’t.” I didn’t say anything but wondered. Then he informed me that the battery was under warranty.

When he got in I was whooping and hollering we had just gotten a new battery for —– $0 thanks to the warranty and to “my God for supplying all my needs.” AMEN.

Just Be

You may have noticed over the past few weeks that I have been making a lot of changes.  These changes were spurred on by God and I am feeling good about them, however there are some thing still that I struggle with doing or rather NOT doing.  I am a “doer” by nature.  I love to stay busy and have the bad habit of piling too much “to do” on my plate of life.

I have over the past few weeks taken a great deal off of that “pile”, resulting in sometimes feeling a bit light and that has tempted me to add something back to the plate or find something new to add to the plate.  I’m trying terribly to resist.  God is desperately pleading with me to just be.

I worry about the things that go undone . . .He picks up the pieces.

I worry about the money that isn’t made . . . He provides our every need.

“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33

Committing to Pray for Him

I have to be honest, when I get upset about something in my home and marriage I don’t often think of praying.  I often dwell and mull, but pray I do not.  I love my husband very much and feel that I have done him a disservice because I have not done something I should have been doing for ten years now.  That is to pray for him.  Sure I’ve said prayers for him but to diligently pray for him daily I have not.

I am changing this and beginning today I am committing to pray for him daily.  I know this can only do good things for our marriage.  I found an awesome resource this morning when searching for devotions and scriptures on this topic.  It is a downloadable form about praying for your Husband and 31 Days of Prayer.

If you’re like me and need some guidance on this you should go download the form.  I want to be this woman of scripture,

“Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.  She brings him good not harm all the days of her life.”  Proverbs 31:11-12

I know with prayer that can be possible, but without it I can surely never succeed.  I’m committed, do you need to commit too?
