All I can say this morning is thank God! In order to really reach any of your goals in life, you have to make sacrifices and you have to show that you have faith. I have been trying to get on this savings plan that I created but in order to get on it I had to save a small cushion first. Well, every time I try to save my cushion, something came up. Either something was needed for my car or something was needed for my wife's car. It just seemed as if I wasn't ever going to get to implement my savings plan at all. Well, once again, I heard that voice gain. This time it said don't worry about anything, just have faith that everything will be all right, I got you! I had to listen because every time I have listened to the voice, it was right. So I made up in my mind that I was going to implement my savings plan without my cushion. I spent all of my money on my bills and to get my car and my wife's car fixed. I shuffled out all my my money. Well the ultimate test came. I had a few dollars left to get me to pay day and then I had to refill my prescription. This left me with nothing but a few dollars in my account. When I got in my car, I saw that the gas tank was on E and I had to go to work the next day. I just drove home as if everything was OK. I didn't think about it, I just went home and laid on the sofa and watched movies all day. I still had one more day to go before payday. I didn't worry, I just had faith. My wife walked in the house with an envelope. Inside the envelope was a check from the US Treasury. Now mind you, i had already received my income tax check. My wife thought it was my state income tax check, but i told her it wasn't. She then asked me what was it for. I told her I didn't know, but on the inside I was saying, "it was for having faith." Now the check was only for $25 but that was all I needed to put gas in my car until payday.
Sometimes if we just have a little faith God will supply us with what we need. I think a lot of times we miss his blessings because we are looking for it to come in the way that we want instead of the way that we need it. Some people will lose all of their money gambling because of the chances that they have on winning. Most would not spend all of their money on bills and just ride on faith the rest of the way. I stepped out on faith and now I am a few steps ahead on my savings plan. I couldn't have done it without putting it all in his hands. I am not telling you to go and spend all your money on your bills and just have faith that God will make something happen. What I am saying is sit down and try to make life better for yourself and listen to that voice that tells you how to make it happen. You can't do what everyone else does because your situation is not the same as there's. But what you can do that they did is have the same faith and listen to God when he speaks. Don't worry, you will know when it's him, he has a very distinct voice.
