Yesterday I sold my scooter just in time to pay a few bills that desperately needed paying. However, I'm sorry to say, before I even took the time to be grateful I was already boo-hooing about the fact that the money would run out by next week because of the aforementioned bills and my motorhome was never going to sell and I was never going to get a temp job and I'd be mooching off my parents for the rest of my life... :p

Thankfully I got my head back on straight and took a moment to thank the Lord for His just-in-time provision and ask that He would continue to give me what I need...just when I need it. And lo and behold, this morning I got my first call from the temp agency. It's not a for sure job -- I have to interview for it -- but just the possibility sent me to my knees in gratefulness for the Lord's gracious provision and encouragement to me in my weakness.

What a wonderfully gracious God we serve. He not only forgives our sins at the moment of salvation, He continually forgives our doubts and unfaithfulness for the rest of our lives!

This morning I was reading Daniel's explanation to King Nebuchadnezzar about why he was able to interpret the King's dream when no one else could -- he said no one on earth could do what the King was asking, "but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries." That phrase just gave me chills! It's quite likely that I'll never have the opportunity to speak before a king <or even a President>, but I hope that by my life and actions I can show to others that there is a God in heaven who can do any number of mighty things.
