You always hear about all the things God is doing for people and wonder when is he going to do something for me? I have a friend who is serving God in Nairobi, Kenya and I just read where their Annual Budget was just met by their supporting churches. Praise God for providing for them. Now they can concentrate on Ministry and not have to worry about money. Seeing God take care of his people is always encouraging. But what about your needs? Do you ever find yourself asking God , where’s mine? When do I get my break, how long do I have to be like this? I am sure we have all been at some place in our lives where we have wondered if God even hears our prayers or knows what is going on with our lives.
This week God showed me just how much he loves me in the simplest form. My wife is pregnant with our 2nd child and we are eagerly awaiting his arrival. Graceanne is so excited to be a big Sister and can’t wait for the Dr. To pull her baby brother out of Mommy. ( I laugh every time she ask.. Is the Dr. going to pull my baby brother out of mommy today? ) Just a month ago Heidi was involved in a small accident that was enough to send her into pre term labor. We got to the hospital and they were able to stop the contractions and she was able to come home. Almost exactly 1 month later, she was getting ready for a meeting at work and headed out the door. She surprised us by being back home just 30 minutes later after she had found out the meeting had been cancelled due to the other party being stuck in court. Not very long after , she started feeling contractions and within 45 minutes had already almost 10. So we called our Dr. and we packed up and headed to the hospital. It did not take long for them to admit her and once again, they wanted to stop the contractions. She is 33 weeks and 4 days but they want her to at least go 34 weeks. After a few hours of contractions every 1-3 minutes, they finally slowed down and they took her off the drugs that were helping her. Once again, we were able to avoid a pre mature birth. Thank God.
At some point in this entire ordeal I stopped and had one of those moments where you realize all along that God knows who I am and knows exactly what I needed. That person being stuck in court was no coincidence and I am so grateful that God had his hand on Heidi and our little guy. If Heidi had been at her meeting, then everything would have been completely different and it would have been so much more difficult to get her to the hospital. “ His eye is on the Sparrow “ No matter how big or how small the issue you are facing, God knows exactly every detail and is as concerned about your small problem as he is with the biggest of problems. Thank God I am loved by a Heavenly Father that knows everything about me down to the number of hairs on my head. Instead of always wondering when you are going to get the Big Blessing… Be grateful for all the things God has done already.
Luke 12:6-7 (The Message)"What's the price of two or three pet canaries? Some loose change, right? But God never overlooks a single one. And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! So don't be intimidated by all this bully talk. You're worth more than a million canaries.
