My Provider

Some of you might remember the following song. It has been playing in my head all week:

Jehovah Jirah!
My Provider's grace is sufficient for me! (x's 2)

My God will supply all my needs
According to His riches and glory
He will give His angels charge over me,
Jehovah Jirah cares for me!

You see, currently, I am at a point in my life where there is only so much more I can do to change my situation. I am in desperate need of a job and it has been surprisingly more complicated than I first thought. I'm moving up to Grand Rapids, MI on Friday where I feel God has led me. I have a formal interview next Wednesday for the neonatal (infant) position I mentioned earlier and am trusting God to do the rest. If I don't get this job...well, my bills will be due in a month and that will be it.

But there's a certain point of desperation in which you look at the physical facts and they simply don't work out like you want. At that point, there's nothing more I can do except pray. And I have to admit, it's almost a relief. This is where I am reminded once more that God is my Provider and now it is up to Him to move my situation. And God is nothing if not faithful. Even as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said just before being thrown into the fiery furnace, "We know our God is powerful to rescue us. BUT...even if He chooses not to, we will still serve the Lord." I know my God is able, and I have determined in my heart that no matter what happens, I will serve Him always! Right now I am simply trusting Him to lay my steps before me in whatever path best serves His will.

He is my Provider and He can make a way where there is none. I will trust Him to take care of me!

I will be praying for you a job Cindy. I know that God has a plan for you. Just because you can't see it in the physical doesn't mean it isn't there. It's on the way. Just seek the Kingdom of God first and then everything else will fall into place.

This is such a good post Cindy. It speaks mountains. God IS our provider and we must choose to remember that in every situation. That's the hard part sometimes when our mind wants to just "figure it out". We have got to trust God to do the figuring for us and then we have got to let him. We are praying for you and God has the perfect job just for you. Be blessed. We will miss you so much. Love you bunches!

My computer has been out of service for well over a month, so
I've missed out on alot of your blogs. However, congrats on passing your state boards. I had no doubt that you would pass.

Excellent post here on our Provider. Just keep the faith & trust the Lord to bring you His very best in a job just for you!!!

Also, continue to trust for ALL of
your upcoming needs...like rent, groceries, gas, etc. He Will provide for you.

As always, you remain in my prayers.
