Our God Provides

It can be the little things in life that we never expect. My daughter has wanted me to build her a playhouse in our back yard. We found plans on the internet that showed how to build one from recycled materials like wooden pallets and she was excited. I had a hard time trying to figure out where to get some old pallets. These days most companies recycle them. My wife and I prayed for the resources to get the materials, but I had not thought about it much in the last week. Then at work today where I am helping a company get organized, I asked if they had some. They directed me to an area where they said they did. Not only did they have pallets, they had whole boxes built with plywood sides that are five feet tall! I just laughed to myself thinking about how God always provides. It reminded me of a scripture that I think of often.

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

God provides for everything we need. The materials for the playhouse seem like a small thing. Yet, Our Father even is providing these small things to make my daughter happy! I am thankful that we have a Father that even cares for the little things like the desires of a child, just to see the joy on her face.

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You as the Most High. Thank You for thinking of even the small things. Thank You for considering the desires of my daughter for something as simple as a playhouse as something worth providing. You truly are a perfect Father. Please forgive us when we mess up. Please send us today the healing, deliverance, and the overwhelming provision You promise to provide. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
