Lately, I’ve spent some time thinking about the wonderful promise of God’s provision.  The primary reason for this is because I have been very aware of all the things that God has been providing that is enabling me to answer the call to missions.  Not only do I see the things He is currently providing, but I can look back and see everything that He has provided me that has prepared me for this undertaking.  Phillipians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

For most of my life, I have not recognized God’s provision and felt pretty self-sufficient.  I put myself through college working two jobs and even joined the US Marine Corps Reserves to help pay for college.  I’ve worked hard all of my life to improve my lot in life and to provide for my family.  I now know that everything has been provided by God.

Once we surrendered to missions, we realized how much we were going to have to rely on God to provide for us.   With one income we don’t have leftover money at the end of the month.  We had no idea how we were going to be able to afford the $5,000 that it was going to take to go to Uganda in November, but I trust in God’s provision.  So far, He has provided 80% of the money 5 months before we even step onto a plane.
