I was about to "treat myself" to a cup of ice cream on a hot day.
I got the thought, maybe this money would be better used...why not ask the Lord to provide my needs
and use the money for something for my family or some edifying books to share, as money is very very tight.
Me - buying the ice cream- would have been selfish and gratifying an area of the flesh that needs to die.
something the Lord is dealing with me personally)
I then trusted the Lord to provide ice cream- when and if, He desired- trusting Him to take care of me.
As I turned away from the frozen custard place, I felt as if a part of me - a lust- was cut off- and I felt really free.
Then I arrived at my mom's house. In about 5 minutes after getting there, I was offered ice cream! Praise the Lord!
( not a daily occurance)
I was also a little bit troubled, thinking about what to make for dinner. Not to sound shallow, but I have a big family and limited means.
I was also feeling a little fatigued, waking up several times with our baby.
Well my mom, also offers, out of the blue, for me to take a bunch of frozen pizzas home with me to cook.
the Lord provided all of my needs! I really wanted a break- to not cook and He provided for us!
I think this shows the Lords care of our daily needs and it really blessed me.
Thank you Father!
