Every now and then, I pick up one of my journals from years
gone by, and go to the day’s date and see what was going on in my life. Today I looked at the entry for this date in 2004,
and enjoyed a blast from the past.
Michael was a baby, and was saying all kinds of cute words. The latest at that time was “bobish” for Gold
Fish. (I realize that it is not quite as
“precious” to you, but humor me.) I also
noticed that in 2004 I was praying for help with our finances. I wrote, “We have a bill due - $365 to the
preschool – and I just don’t know where the money is coming from. “Help, Lord!”
Next day’s entry: “Today
while I was at church, I found a check for $100 that I had forgotten about from
doing a wedding. Then when I went home
for lunch, in the mail was a check from Farmer’s Insurance for $270 for
premiums overpaid.” Hmmm. I had a bill due for $365. I got $370 unexpectedly. OK, God.
I get the message.
Here’s the “epiphany” on this Epiphany Day: God has before and always will provide. God knows, God cares, and God will provide.
