A Lesson in Trust

Today was the first time in over a week that I drove my car to work. I have been driving around my dad's Audi because my car had several problems that needed fixing and ended up costing several hundred dollars. While I'll admit that this is concerning, I was glad to see I didn't have a major flip out over having to shell out the money. God protected me from feeling worried and stressed over my car and instead gave me a peace about it. For one thing, although my bank account will take a serious hit, I did have the money. For another, God provided the job that provided me that money so that when my car broke down, I would have the funds (and the awesome dad!) to take care of it. This is not a revolutionary thought, but I can trust God! I can trust him to faithfully provide for me, whether it be a few hundred dollars for my car of several thousand for my ministry.

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Look at the lilies of the field, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If this is how God clothes the grass of the field that is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, o you of little faith?
~Matthew 6:27, 29-30
