I’m having a difficult time right now. I know something to be true, even able to put it into very clear words in a conversation with some friends. But I’m having trouble knowing what to do next.
I know God will take care of my family. I know that I am not the provider for our family, my job does not provide for our family… God does. I know that. I trust him to, because I have seen him do it many times over.
Right now, that is very difficult.
Money coming in is lower than usual… probably feels much lower than it actually is. And there have been many expenses this month, and coming up next month. Not a good combination.
So, I’m asking God to let me know what he wants. Does he want to prove himself to me… where I really let go and trust him? Or is there a time where we need to “take some action”? The points from each “side” are volleying back and forth in my head. I’m sure I will hear the same responses. It’s funny though.. the line reverberating in my head from one “side” is “God helps those who help themselves” (which is not a scripture…) 🙂 while one the other “side” I can think of several scriptures 🙂
“Without faith it is impossible to please God.”
“God is able to do immeasureably more than we could ask or imagine”
“We walk by faith, and not by sight”
Hmm… perhaps I am answering my own question? But that’s just it. I know the truth. I trust the Truth. But… what do I DO right now? I still have the bills to pay. I still have a family to feed and clothe?
This is heavy on my heart right now for sure.
My prayer for you and your family is that God will amply provide for all your needs and keep each of you close to Him always.
I can totally relate. Expenses just seem to be going up faster than money!! I will pray for you- pray for wisdom and peace for us too. I’m the one who always wants to “DO SOMETHING!” and mostly I act before I let God show me who He is.
