Psalm 91:15
“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.”
A popular seminary professor tells the story of a married seminary student with three children who was struggling to make ends meet while in school. The family had a boy named Timmy, age six, who grew out of his shirt and there was just no money for a new one.
His wise parents suggested that the family make it a matter of prayer and allow God to provide a new shirt for Timmy, size seven. Each evening as the family gathered for devotions, Timmy would remind whoever prayed to be sure and pray for a new shirt—size seven.
Several weeks went by and the Christian owner of a clothing store was getting rid of a line of shirts. He called Timmy’s parents and asked if they happened to have a need for any size seven shirts since he had three of them. That night when Timmy reminded his dad to pray for a size seven shirt, he told Timmy they wouldn’t be praying that prayer any longer. Timmy was confused until his brother and sister brought out his new shirts all size seven.
Wise parents indeed! They took the opportunity of laying a need before the Lord and in so doing they taught their family that God delights in providing for His children, even the little ones, size seven.
What specific needs do you have in your life that you are asking God for?
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
