Abby and I are amazed at how much God provides for us. Though we live off of very little income, God blesses us financially and takes care of all our needs. Here’s an example.
We’re moving to Illinois next month where I will pastor Grace Baptist Church. We’ve been looking for a house for the past couple of months so that we’ll actually have a place to live in when we move. But so far, we haven’t been able to find a house that seems like a good fit for our growing family. Last week, though, we got a call from one of our new church members who has been keeping an eye out in the neighborhood for houses that come onto the market. Long story short, God has provided a home for us in town that we can stay in for free while we continue our search for a house that we would like to buy. We met the owner yesterday, and it was such a blessing to hear her share her desire to serve God and be a good steward of what she has.
Even though I know other Christian families who really struggle financially, and that this line of thinking is similar to the “prosperity gospel” which I reject, I can’t help but praise God for His provision!
God is Good!
