I sat at my desk struggling to find faith. I could not pray.
Not even tears brought relief.
Reaching for the small calendar off to my right, I wrote down the
lines of a song I’d heard my mother sing often. It was all I felt I could do.
Keep on believing,
Jesus is near
Keep on believing, there’s
nothing to fear
I was waiting for the delivery of the office payroll. Sales
had been down for me recently and I knew not to expect any pay. However, I
needed the equivalent of two months rent as I was moving and that amount was
required by the renter.
When the checks arrived, I opened my envelope and almost
gasped. Inside was a check for about ten times the amount I needed. I gave my
head office a quick call to explain that they had made a mistake. They had. They
informed me however, that they could not recall the check but I could reimburse
them over a period of time! What a God!
We cannot tell our future one minute from now. Because of
that, we worry when things look like they are not going to work out well. But
Jesus said, “Don’t worry about tomorrow….” (Matthew 6:34 NLT) He does not forget us or our needs. He does
not even forget one sparrow—and we mean so much more to Him. Be encouraged. Our
stories might not be the same, but our God is.
