[Discoveries] 02-12-07 Seventy-five bags

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*... my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the 
days of my life ... -- Psalm 23:5-6*/

We aren't going to be disappointed. When we discover who we truly are in 
God, we may be overwhelmed, but we won't feel cheated. God is not stingy.

For me, my children's clothing has been a metaphor of God's provision. 
We have four children. The oldest is fifteen. In the last fifteen years, 
we have spent very little on children's clothing. In fact, often when we 
did spend money, the next day someone (without knowing what we bought), 
went out and purchased the very same thing for us. So does this mean our 
children are clothed in rags, that they shiver through the winter in 
threadbare clothes? Not at all! In fact, one year we gave away 
seventy-five large (lawn & garden size) plastic bags full of children's 
clothing.

We all have needs. When I originally wrote this devotional four years 
ago, we had no income. One promising business or job opportunity after 
another fell through leaving us with nothing. Yet, despite these 
setbacks, we always had enough to eat, clothes to wear and a place to 
live. God has supplied our needs in many different ways.

And He will supply yours.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
