Tuesday, and I was there at the Walmart parking lot, waiting for my sister to come out. She is doing her shopping again. And I was in the car, starting this blog to pass the time, besides I figured that this time is as good as any to do this.
There is a perfectly valid reason why I am mentioning this (so please bear with me). You see, I was low on gas, so low that the needle on my gas gauge in the instrument panel was almost touching the bottom. Earlier this morning, with this low on gas problem on my mind, I was worrying again since I only have $4 to my name. How and where am I going to get gas. Normally, I would work my brain out to find a way (self reliant). But since the LORD GOD showed me to rely on HIM and HIM alone; and not on my own thinking, or way of doing things, unspeakably miraculous things starts happening.
Did not GOD say to Abraham, “Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” (Genesis 15:1). Most of those reading this blog, probably know this already. But for me, this is kind of a almost new learning experience. You see, it wasn’t till recently that yours truly (that’s me) found the LORD GOD granting me tender mercies to do a full time ministry (which was about seven months ago). And I was working two jobs just to pay bills. Then the LORD amazing grace started doing it’s work in my heart. My thoughts were now focused on spending the few minutes, days, weeks, months, and years that the blessed would give me – to invest it for eternity (serving the LORD JESUS, and HIS kingdom). That was March. And the LORD’ grace was abounding in my heart that it became a warm obsession! But I didn’t know how to go about it – doing full time ministry. But the LORD GOD knows, and HE had the most amazing plan, even I couldn’t have thought about it.
The Bible talks about “a way of escape” (1 Corinthians 10:13b). It was about that time that I developed a congestive heart failure (CHF). Eventually, I left work and started collecting disability, and went on early retirement. Yours truly started doing the tract distribution ministry, and is getting paid at the same time. (Before the grace of GOD to invest the rest of the time that the LORD JESUS is letting me have; and after).
So, going back to my story before, GOD’s grace prompted me to pray for the gas problem, and this is HIS answer for the provision – my sister going shopping. She gave me money for gas.
So why am I sharing this? So that all the glory will go to HIM who lives and reigns forever – even GOD the FATHER and the LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS).
Like that song says, “My GOD is an awesome GOD!” I am finding that to be true always, all the time.
