God Is So Good!

I have so many things to write about today. . . .but so little time! I made a promise to the Lord a long time ago that when I wanted to brag, I would brag about the things He is doing, not the things I am doing. Whenever I saw God moving in and through H2H I would give Him all the honor, glory and praise, because He is the only one who truly deserves it. Today I want/need to do some bragging about my God.

For the last several months, I have been beseeching God to provide for His ministry at H2H. I waited and waited and waited, but saw our needs continuing to grow. I was becoming increasingly impatient, frustrated and quite frankly scared. I knew that God was hearing my prayers, but wasn't quite sure why I wasn't seeing the financial deliverance I felt that we needed. I was encouraged to hang in there because every now and then I would see small things that gave me encouragement and hope, but no answers of deliverance. . . .until yesterday!

Yesterday morning during my quiet time, I wrote in my daily journal very simply that I am choosing to believe God's promises, with or without seeing answers to my prayers. I will stand on God's promises in His word, because that is where my hope (blessed assurance) is. The journal entry was very short and to the point.

I got to the office and went to pick up the mail. Lo and behold, there was an envelope in the mail from an area church that has had limited involvement with H2H. When I opened the envelope I was STUNNED at what I saw. There was a check for over $2,700 written to H2H with a letter of explanation. The church has made a commitment to the Lord to periodically do an assessment of their financial needs compared to their income. They have pledged to give 100% of the "profit" to three types of ministries, local, global, and ministries that serve disasters. H2H was identified as being the local ministry to receive a portion of their "profit".

It is easy to be thankful for the church, but first and foremost, I want to thank God for this AMAZING blessing! He was the one who moved in the hearts of those who were responsible for making the decisions about who the recipients would be. All praise and glory and honor go to God first. Next, I am very thankful to those leaders and the church for being sensitive to the Lord's leading and prompting in this matter and for making this donation to H2H.

God is so good and worthy of our praise! When we have God-sized needs (and we did), God shows up with God-sized answers to those needs (and He did)! Praise the Lord!!
