God Provides

Thought for Today: GOD PROVIDES There was a Christian lady who lived next door to an atheist. Everyday, when the lady prayed, the atheist guy could hear her. He thought to himself, "She sure is crazy, praying all the time like that. Doesn't she know there isn't a God?" Many times while she was praying, he would go to her house and harass her, saying "Lady, why do you pray all the time? Don't you know there is no God?" But she kept on praying. One day, she ran out of groceries. As usual, she was praying to the Lord explaining her situation and thanking Him for what He was gonna do. AS USUAL, the atheist heard her praying and thought to himself. "Hmph . . . I'll fix her." He went to the grocery store, bought a whole bunch of groceries, took them to her house, dropped them off on the front porch, rang the door bell and then hid in the bushes to see what she would do. When she opened the door and saw the groceries, she began to praise the Lord with all her heart, jumping, singing and shoutin' everywhere! The atheist then jumped out of the bushes and told her, "You ol' crazy lady, God didn't buy you those groceries, I bought those groceries!" Well, she broke out and started running down the street, shouting and praising the Lord. When he finally caught her, he asked what her problem was . . . She said, "I knew The Lord would provide me with some groceries, but I didn't know He was gonna make the devil pay for them!" --author unknown to me "As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be proud and arrogant and contempuous of others, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches, but on God, Who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment." I Timothy 6:17 Amplified "He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. BUT the cowardly, THE UNBELIEVING, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars -- their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Revelation 21:7-8 NIV (emphasis added)

That last part just made me giggle. I too am fighting with the devil constantly in my mind about my future. I know that God is providing the way and only His way, and I know that the devil will be giving me my job. God is going to place me where I need to be to make a difference, and I can't wait to see what He has in store. Thank you for your wonderful stories/poems/quotes. They are truly inspiring!
