God provided a vine…
God provided adventure…
God provided two new cars… God
provided several special friends… God
provided a roomy and worry free house…
God provided money for travel back and forth across the ocean… It eased our discomfort of living as
strangers and we were very happy about it.
God provided a place to live when we moved back to the
states… God provided a job… It eased our discomfort when we transitioned
from missions to church work and we were very happy about it.
God provided a worm…
God provided financial crisis… God provided opportunities for delayed
gratification… God provided when we had
to say no to our kids… God provided
decreased property values… God provided
two older cars that work but don’t always feel fun to drive… God provided a house that isn’t
finished… The vine withered and the
scorching wind came and we grew faint.
Should I not be concerned…
I am concerned about the things God allows to spring up
overnight in my life and am even more concerned when I lose them. I don’t like discomfort and losing luxuries
is uncomfortable. But although God
notices those things that ease my discomfort, sometimes he provides for that
discomfort so that he can accomplish a plan that I may not understand… “Should I not be concerned about that great
city?” …or about Westboro and Rib Lake?
