Yesterday I was blue...ok...life has ups and downs....Rick Warren said once that he used to think life was full of ups and then downs...now he believes...they just run side by side...Whatever the case..life is not easy.
Something disappointing happened at work last week...and I am not getting paid for the next 7 days.....I felt very depressed about it yesterday..I was reading through Facebook...trying to cheer myself up...it was working...sort of.......tears continued to stream...
Then, I read from a posting...."Grab the nearest book...turn to page 56, line 5 and post whatever is on that page." Here is what was on the page starting from the top.....
afraid. I will provide for you and your children........
afraid...I will provide for you and your children......
Line 5 really didn't matter after that....it was God speaking to me and assuring me that He is in control....that He is my provider..
Backing up a page...."But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is not being done, the saving of many lives...So then, don't be....afraid....I will provide for you and your children....
Think about it....had she asked for another page...and another line....is God Sovereign...Yes...
Does he care about the sparrow? yes......
Normally I don't do this sort of thing...but, I grabbed the nearest book...my Bible...
