Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: 7/31 A Scripture for Today

Will pray for your finances - I'm in a similar situation, but God has always provided for me. I can't remember the Scripture, and I loaned my concordance to my mom, but the Word basically tells us that "His seed will never beg for bread" - paraphrased. I've only been saved for not quite seven years, during which my dad died, my mom had breast cancer and my husband left me (all in a few months time)- and my financial situation was grim - but I trusted Him and He provided. When I lost my job at a travel agency ten days after 9/11, and only two months after my divorce was finalized, I had to sell my house. But God has always provided - He is Jehovah-Jireh. He's had to teach me a few lessons along the way about stewardship - and I'm still learning - sometimes the hard way! A friend told me that God is "an on-time God - never early but never late"! He has perfect timing for everything. Have you ever read one of those little biographies from a Christian bookstore about George Mueller? He was in London and built orphanages in the 19th century - and he never asked for any money - he prayed every day for food and provisions for the children and it always showed up! God is working on me in the area of looking farther ahead - I just let too much go through my fingers. I do believe that God is faithful to His promise in Malachi 3:10. In Deuteronomy 31:7-8, He says, "Be strong and courageous!....Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD is the one who goes before you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor forsake you." I'm thanking Him right now, in Jesus' name, that He has already gone before you and prepared the way, and that you are never out of His hand!

Blessings,
