The Lord Will Provide

Thursday, February 29, 2024

Today is leap day, so the reading is just three verses about the bible itself. Instead ... let's turn it up!

Whatever comes,

I'm not giving up.

I still got some life in me!

T Esko: I was once a rebellious, straying sheep who had intentionally, intellectually, and systematically rejected everything about God. Eventually I became exactly the man my decisions created - I was a lonely drunk whose friends had moved on, often at the request of their wives, and without any hope for happiness in my life.

Then, in a moment of despair, I challenged God with a terrible ultimatum: I would attend church – nothing else – for 12 straight Sundays, and if God could completely overhaul my life in that short time without me taking ANY other action to improve myself, I would believe in Him again, and if not it was proof He didn't exist and I was done with Him forever.

Exactly 40 days later, a woman at work marched up to me, effectively told me she was tired of waiting for me to figure out my life, and ordered me to go on a date with her … and 30 years later we are married with two amazing adult kids, I have a radically different life, surrounded by love, and I have learned and now proclaim that every blessing comes from my dad in heaven – Yahweh-Yireh – The Lord Provides!
