Things here aren't easy but the Lord is providing... I can't even explain how much. Financially, yes. Spiritually, yes. I'm not going to be the kind that fakes it and has religious lines for everything. So in my honesty I'll admit that my faith is maybe the size of a mustard seed... "Let it be done unto you according to your faith..." I've noticed that His economics are different than mine. Cool by me, man.
Yesterday I was finishing up my assigned reading in 2 Samuel of the story of David. His son Absalom attempted to dethrone him but David still said "Deal gently with [him]." At one point, Absalom's counselors, Ahithophel and Hushai, each gave him different advice. Ahithophel's advice would have been a wiser choice but "then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, 'The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.' For the Lord had ordained [purposed, in the NKJV] to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the Lord might bring calamity on Absalom." (1 Samuel 17:14)
The Lord ordained the confusion of David's enemies--why? Because He had anointed and appointed him to be a successful king and God always backs up His promises. If you don't believe it-- just look at my life.
He brought me to His banqueting table,
And His banner over me is love.
I am my Beloved's and He is mine;
His banner over me is love.
We can feel the love of God in this place:
We believe Your goodness; We receive Your grace.
We delight ourselves at Your table, O God.
You do all things well: just look at our lives.
