Indeed, God Provides!

IT’s my 12th day of being unemployed. I remember it was cold, crisp, morning in my work place. I was sleepy and about to go home from my work. I had told a few friends that I was planning to resign on the second week of June. After a couple of weeks of discernment and seeking God’s guidance, I had finally made my decision to resign from work and start a new life. My heart was heavy with anxious thoughts not because of how I was going to manage with limited income after resigning, but because of the decision I made. What if this is a wrong move? What if this will not going to help me? Some questions, huh!

At home, with a cup of coffee in my hand, I looked out of our window. The early morning sunlight glittered as it bounced off the broken stained glass in our backyard.

I was momentarily lost in the peaceful beauty of the scene, when I noticed a lone bird sitting near the fence. Facing the sun, the bird flew down, lowered its beak and picked up something scattered on the ground. It began to nibble peacefully on what had been provided for its need.

Suddenly, it struck me that my needs will be provided for if I trust God and leave my worries with Him. Just then, my heart was filled with hope and gratitude as I go back to my room.

Life as we know it!
