God Provides

When the layer of dew had lifted, there on the wilderness ground was a fine flaky something, fine as frost on the ground. The Israelites took one look and said to one another, man-hu (What is it?). They had no idea what it was.

So Moses told them, "It's the bread God has given you to eat. And these are God's instructions: 'Gather enough for each person, about two quarts per person; gather enough for everyone in your tent.'"

The People of Israel went to work and started gathering, some more, some less, but when they measured out what they had gathered, those who gathered more had no extra and those who gathered less weren't short—each person had gathered as much as was needed.

 Moses said to them, "Don't leave any of it until morning."

But they didn't listen to Moses. A few of the men kept back some of it until morning. It got wormy and smelled bad. And Moses lost his temper with them. Exodus 16:14-20

I have learned that God wants me to be dependent on Him and nothing else. He wants me to know that He will supply all my needs just at the right time!

Yesterday I was hired back at my old job at LSU. I will be back on my stomping grounds, advising students, teaching classes, and really getting to make a difference! I am so excited to be back and I can't wait to start work on Monday!

I know that God has taken me down this path to really teach me how He works in mysterious ways! His love for me runs so deep and I love how He is showing me something new everyday about His love and His ways.

A lot has happened in this past year - things that I needed to happen to understand the love of Jesus and the way His hand works. All of these things have made me stronger and more dependent on Him! He gives me what I need when I need it, all I need!

Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. Philippians 4:6-7 

You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Philippians 4:19 

 He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help. Hebrews 4:16
