GLEANINGS FROM THE WORD Encountering an extraordinary God in ordinary life Issue # 223 August 08, 2001 FAITHFUL   With the upcoming move, and the expenses related to it, things have been feeling a little squeezed in the finance department lately. Kathy and I spent some time in prayer yesterday, trusting in God, but confessing that we were a touch worried about the timing of things. Not particularly super-spiritual to be a little concerned, but a natural human response. We had a sense of peace after the prayer and I felt Him telling us to just trust. A fellow came by to look at the boat I cleaned yesterday. While he was looking, the surveyor who was surveying our lot realized that the boat was for sale and stopped to look as well. While the first fellow was looking at the boat in detail, the surveyor called me aside and told me “If he doesn’t take it, I will.” The first visitor bought the boat at the full asking price, with no haggling. I had two solid buyers for it, and I hadn’t even advertised it for sale yet. God was simply reminding me that He had things under control. Without any marketing effort on my part, He provide more buyers than I had boats and at the full price I needed. Once again, God proves Himself faithful in incredible ways. That is the way He is. Sometimes we don’t get the answers we want to prayer, although He always answers. He is always faithful to our needs (not necessarily to our wants, because our wants may not be good for us). I’m not proclaiming a gospel of material prosperity. Sometimes it is in the best interests of ourselves or others that we do without, and we need to trust Him to know when that is. It just happens that on this occasion He chose to prove His faithfulness using finances. From the beginning of Scripture to the present day (and beyond), His faithfulness stands as a testimony to His existence and power. When ever we waiver or doubt, we simply need to turn to the pages of Scripture to see His unwaivering faithfulness. He always comes through at the perfect time. He always will, because He is unchanging Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.                                                          Deuteronomy 7:9 NIV Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.                                                                   Hebrews 13:8 NIV Until next time, know that no matter what you are facing, He is in control and is faithful. God bless. Kevin Do you have a life that is out of control? Would you like to have a personal relationship with the God who is in control of all things? Email me. I’ll share a few Bible verses that talk about why a relationship with Him is important and a prayer that will make it possible. ©  2001 K.F. "Kevin" Corbin All Rights Reserved
