God's Providence

As I sit here today avoiding my long to do list, I am thankful for my family, my church, and all that we have. God has given us so much. I am not talking about monetary things, I am talking about the countless blessing that we have. I am blessed to have an amazing husband that puts me before himself. Two beautiful boys that bring me joy. I have my health, family, and few friends. We might not have a beautiful home, new cars, new clothes, nice furniture, or the newest technology, but we do have the Lord. He is such an amazing God! He provides for our every need. His promises are so true. He loves me so much that He sent his one and only Son to die on the cross for me and my sins.


The past few Monday night we have done a study on Ruth in our bible study. I see myself in Ruth is some ways. I see the love and faith she had in God and I strive to be more like her. She followed her mother in law closely. Praise God that I have a relationship like this with my mother in law. I love her, I adore her, and I look to her for Christ like counsel. Last week we learned about God's providence in our lives. This week I have looked at all the small details that God has orchestrated. It is not by chance it is all a part of God's providence in my life.


As most of my close friends and family know, I have been struggling so much with being content in my life. I see people around me with all these things that I wish I had. But God is all I need. I need to keep that imprinted in the forefront of my mind. A wise man once told me (my hubby) a woman that covets has no money. So true! Why is it so hard for me to just be content? I ask God this all the time. Then someone that I know will get something that I have wanted for a long time or have the newest THING that is in and I find myself coveting all over again. Why am I writing about this? I am not really sure. Just on my heart weighing down heavy. As tears roll down my face while I type I just am asking to be content. Can’t I just be happy with the all that I have already? Take a moment today and thank God for all that you have and all that you don't have. There is a reason for everything and I am trusting that God is going to take care of me. God bless my friends.
