God will provide


God will provide.  Some times how He provides is not what we expect or even what He provides.  The fact is we can trust Him, look for where He is working and then share with the people we encounter just how God met our need, gave us courage and didn’t leave us on our own.


God will provide.  Where do you have a need today?


Philippians 4:19  NLT  

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.


I read a quote yesterday that sticks out when thinking of our struggles and situations outside of our control.  That quote was something like this…  


Either leave your worries with God — or your worries will make you leave God.  Ann Vockamp


It is when we trust God and remember how He provided for us in the past that we grow in faith.  He will do in the future what He did in the past.  But if you are like me, with some negative thoughts and struggles with questions, you lean to the worry side.  It isn’t comfortable.  It isn’t God’s way either.


Matthew 6:27  NLT  

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?


What good does worrying bring to your life?  Trusting God, believing God will provide will push worry aside.  Be careful not to pick it up again.  It is also easy to head back to worry not long after giving it to God.


1 Peter 5:7  NLT  

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.


Give them back to God.  He will provide.  That is a promise.


God will provide.


2 Corinthians 9:8  NLT  

And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
