Tis a New Season- Part 2

How are we going to pay for this?

This was the same question I had been thinking since early Thursday morning. We cannot afford health insurance on my hubby. Where were we going to get this money and still make ends meet? Pause... In walks reality... a dear friend from our Bible Study group prayed with me over the phone. She said, "and we praise you for this blessing. Thank you Father that Jon's life was spared." Wow, took my breath away with perspective. My mom has repeatedly told me throughout my life, "If money can fix it, its' not a problem." What she means is that money can't fix a broken heart, or cancer, or death. But money can fix things like broken water heaters, cars and even gall bladders... She was encouraging me to see the big picture, this wasn't really a problem. I'd like to say that these two Godly women gave me faith and strength to make it through the past few days. But still I doubt, I worry, whatever you want to call it... I'm a pessimist on how things will all work out.

However, the Lord created me... all of me... even my doubting spirit and He uses this to teach me dependance on Him.

"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul both secure and steadfast" - Hebrews 6:19

"The Lord is faithful. His promises are sure. The promises made through the prophets concerning the Messiah all came true. Now we have the promises of Christs to anchor us. This passage assures us that through Christ we have access into the very heart of God and we can never drift off the solid anchor of His care. We are never alone. There is no situation, circumstance or problem which is too big for our Lord.... There will be a decisive moment when He will come. He will give us what we need to do more than copes. He has unlimited resources of people, unexpected surprises, wisdom, and spiritual power to release at just the right moment. The lord is always on time- never late, never early. We can let go of our worried grip on life. If we hand onto yesterday's troubles, tomorrow's fears and today's anxieties, we will overload and blow our circuits... Our hope is built on our Lord's faithfulness. He's there with you now. Trust Him. And then expectantly anticipate that at the right time and in the way that's most creative to you and all concerned, He will intervene and infuse you with exactly what you need."
