I've never seen the righteous forsaken over the years either. God has always met my family's needs, and the needs of those in our church. Our God never changes in his faithfulness! Hey Gary, Aren't cars a lot of fun? My condolences on the Escort - glad you could keep the Fiesta running! I've had lots of car problems the last few years - they're another one of God's ways of working sanctification into our lives. Hi Wendy, Sorry to hear about all you went through recently - sounds really rough, especially with a migraine - my daughter has had migraines for 7 years. I commend you for your perseverance and your faith - I know it's so pleasing to Jesus to see you trusting him! Hey Ron,

Hey Gary,

Hi Wendy,

Sorry to hear about all you went through recently – sounds really rough, especially with a migraine – my daughter has had migraines for 7 years. I commend you for your perseverance and your faith – I know it’s so pleasing to Jesus to see you trusting him!

After reading it I think that it meant more to me after yesterday than it would have before. I have taken my car to the shop twice in the last couple weeks for separate things and then when I got to work yesterday realized that my driver's side door had mysteriously locked itself and the lock was stuck. So I was climbing in and out of the passenger side all day (not easy in a little car) until it decided to open last night. I also had a conversation with my manager yesterday that made me increasingly concerned about the stability of my job. Through all of this I was dealing with the after-affects of a bad migraine I had on Tuesday night-- all in all it was a rough day. But God was a quiet voice reminding me to trust him- to the extent of praying that my door lock would open, which it did not that long after. And your post - dealing with cars and jobs specifically - was another reminder that my life is in God's hands and that He is faithful to provide what I need when I need it. So if my job does go south and my car decides to completely die at last, I can rest in knowing that my Heavenly Father will supply all my needs. Thank you!

Fortunately we were able to resurrect the Fiesta with parts from the other for which I'm still thanking God.

Very timely post, In these uncertain times it is so good to know that we can trust the Lord, He never leaves us and never forsakes us. Psalm 37:25 is such a comfort in these shaky times we're living in, "I have been young, and now am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.' We serve a God who as you said, can supply our needs in unpredictable and unexpected ways, He loves to surprise us and take care of us. I'm so thankful for our faithful Father, He's so good at looking after His kids! Thank you for yet another timely and encouraging word! Blessings Ron Reffett Hey Mark!

Bob, Thanks for your comments. I've not had to go through 10 months of unemployment - I can see how that would provide a temptation. But you're so right - the way to combat fear is to keep our eyes on Christ. Hey Chris, I love the doctrine of God's sovereignty! What a bedrock. You know, the sparrows around my house are looking pretty good...so is the big fat squirrel that raids our bird feeder. Meghan, Thanks! Glad the Lord would encourage you! Hi Yeller,

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us freely, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" God is always aware of our situation and has the best plan possible--one that will strengthen our walk most, and, more importantly, give Him more glory. yay for that! so awesome. reminds me of romans 8:31-32
