God is Faithful

I am so glad I journal. Last night, I was looking back through a journal entry from nearly 9 months ago. I expressed some fears about a situation in my life, and I wrote, "God is big enough to handle the fall-out of this situation if things go bad." And now, on the other side of that situation, I can see how God truly was faithful in that circumstance. He did handle the fall-out, much more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. GOD IS FAITHFUL!

I have been memorizing Psalm 145 for my class, and this weekend came to the last 7 verses, one if which states, "The eyes of all look to you. You give them their food in due season." The first time I read it I praised God for provision. He promises to provide for us at the time when we need it. But the second time I read it, I saw something even more precious. It doesn't say "I'll give them food in due season." It says, "I will give them their food in due season." It's not just talking general provision at the appointed time...it's personalized provision at the appointed time! Sometimes that food tastes sweet and satisfying and is just what we've been craving...for example, Jason's Deli ice cream! Sometimes, though, the food God provides for us is what we need the most, not necessarily what we want. Just like mothers spend countless hours trying to get their children to eat vegetables because their good for them, God sometimes gives us our food in due season, food that we desperately need.

I will say it again...my God is faithful!

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever! Psalm 145:21
