He provides

Lately we have heard a number of testimonies that show us how God provides for the things we care about, big or small. One mother places a lot of importance on tithing for provision for her family. One week she was disappointed that she did not have enough money to tithe and still have enough money for the weekend. Recently, however, she had recommended a man for a job, and the very weekend that she was low on funds, this man showed up on her doorstep with the money that she needed - known in tradie's language as the "spotter's fee", but known to us as God's provision.

On that same weekend, another lady was headed to a very busy shopping complex for a time of retail therapy. Which is all very well, once you have found a parking spot! On this day, the car park was particularly crowded, so this lady asked God to help her out. He then promptly directed her to the next row of parks where she found her spot. Quickly and conveniently, as parking should be!

We've also been shown how God provides encouragement through people. One of the members of our church has been helping out a troubled young girl with court proceedings, going with her to solicitors appointments etc. It has been a very stressful time. This lady was encouraged though, when a unrelated person handed her a gift and told her it was a thankyou for helping out the girl. She immediately felt the love of God.
