Today, God is explaining what went on two years ago!
Sitting in church paralyzed by fear of what others might think if I dig in my purse for an offering.
Sunday, January 1, 2023, God covers me in His Glory asking, “Do you realize the power of giving on the first day of the year?”
“Yes, I do!”
“Give the $100 bill you received as a Christmas gift.”
I am looking in my journal where I put it and cannot find it!
Then God suggests, “You have a $1oo in your wallet for food, use that!”
Sitting there frozen. I cannot move.
Why can’t I grab it? I’ve done this before?
Too fast the offering plate arrives and I put in my normal $1 and The Glory of God lifts off of me and I want to scramble to obey, but the moment is gone and I know it!
I don’t understand why I didn’t obey?
What difference does it make giving the one in my wallet for food or the one set aside as a gift?
God is exposing my greed, my need to protect MY food money. I am not trusting Him to provide for the food I need.
I know it comes from the choices my biological dad made which cause us to live in deep poverty.
LORD JESUS only You can set me free from my fear of not having enough!
Do What You Only You Can Do! Set me free!
It is interesting how we can Trust God with everything but keep one little area we don’t really know if we can trust Him with it yet?
Has anyone had a similar experience with God?
Have you ever asked God for answers about a situation and expected an answer?
God has answered some of my questions immediately and one question took 40 years for Him to give me a “Yes!” as I was eating breakfast in 2020. I knew exactly what the question was He was answering.
God Bless each and everyone who reads my stories. I hope and pray they help people realize God wants to be involved in every part of our lives to grow us into Christlike people!
GOD IS GOOD!
