A WONDER AT JEHOVAH JIREH (PART 2) (DEUT 24:19-22, PROV. 12:11, PROV.6:1, PSALM 23)

And so we do a part 2 of ‘A WONDER AT JEHOVAH JIREH’

Refer to the part 1 from yesterday’s as we continue.( http://myinss.blogspot.com/2016/02/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html )

From Matthew 6: 25-26 “THEREFORE, I TELL YOU, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU WILL EAT OR DRINK, OR ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL WEAR. IS NOT LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD AND THE BODY MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD AND THE BODY MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLOTHES?...

God knows that not all will have, not because he had made it so but the poor you will always have with you. Mainly, this is because there will always be people who will continue to choose the wrong (sinful) path that leads to poverty. This is why he says for poor you will always have with you.

Of course, our God knowing this,out of his infinite mercies caters for US. US here represent ALL people- The Rich, Poor, Black, White, Atheist, the staunch Christian and playfully even the Obolo(Fat person) or chingilingi(Skinny one).

Matthew once again puts it right when he says:

‘FOR HE MAKES THE SUN TO RISE ON THE EVIL AND THE GOOD, AND HE SENDS RAIN ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST…‘

He hears our groanings, worries and our cries but in all these he proves himself to be JEHOVAH JIREH.

It sounds so simple because the pains and the agonies you’re going through are just unbearable. For you, God doesn’t seem to understand , how does he provide… but hold on let’s go to Deut. 24:19-22:

“WHEN YOU ARE HARVESTING IN YOUR FIELD AND YOU OVERLOOK A SHEAF, DO NOT GO BACK TO GET IT. LEAVE IT FOR THE ALIEN, THE FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW, SO THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD MAY BLESS YOU IN ALL THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS...REMEMBER, THAT YOU WERE SLAVES IN EGYPT THAT IS WHY I COMMAND YOU TO DO THIS.”

And so you see the Lord knows you even as sinful and undeserving as you are. He has willed that even at the worst,those 'leftovers' be left for you(whether poor, homeless, destitute).He has laid those provisions for you, of course not only for our survival but to lift us up and put eventually put us to where we belong

When God freed the Israelites from the Egyptians and  blessed them bountifully, he told them to leave some for the poor reminding them of who they were in Egypt.

I tell you some of these things we do or that happen unknowingly, it is all because God led us to do them just to benefit others. For us, it was a mistake, a forgotten something,blaming ourselves for beng careless, just wondering why that happened.

So to you who have lost that job that all depended on, the destitute or the homeless;  it’s been 8 months getting to a year, just take time to ponder that in all these difficulties who has been taking care of you.

I’m sure you are recounting now and for all those months how did you survive?...because you could always predict how hopeless each day will be but eventually the day turns out hopeful.

Ironically or rather purposefully, it never turns out so because he(GOD)is the hands who has been holding you all these while.

What sends chills down your spine is to hear and see the situations of others and you are grateful for yours. Other times you turn around to even encourage others.

IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT JUST LAST WEEK YOU GOT A CALL FROM THAT UNSUSPECTING EMPLOYER WITH A SUMPTUOUS AND GRACIOUS OFFER.

NO WONDER THOSE YOUR FAMILY HELPED MANY YEARS HAVE COME TO YOUR RESCUE...

…AND YOU, YOU MARVEL THAT JUST THAT SINGLE INNOCENT ACT YOU DID HAVE TAKEN YOU FROM THE STREETS UP TO THE SURGE.

BELOVED, HE IS JEHOVAH JIREH AND HE WILL PROVIDE… ‘YEHOWAH B3HW3 WO’

SO WHAT CAN I SAY THAN TO SAY :

I STILL DO THIS“A WONDER AT JEHOVAH JIREH”
