"Do you trust Me?"
A simple question--but one that has layers and layers of meaning gained by experience after experience of need, circumstantial, relational, danger, or in this case: fiscal. Whenever I have a need that is as palpable as a 30 lb weight on my shoulders and which leaves knots in my stomach, when I hear my Lord speak these few words to me--I receive them with joy. For it is my experience that whenever I am feeling crushed by burden--whether one of fear (as in an impending hurricane) or financial (as is this one)--when these words are whispered to my heart, I can be ASSURED that my God is on the job, wreaking order from havoc, meeting needs -emotional and fiscal. He has not failed me yet. He will NOT fail me--ever.
