God always provides in HIS timing and in what He thinks is best for us. I am reminded of it daily as we have prayed and are continuing to pray that God will provide us with a new house. We could really use a new house. One that is larger to accommodate us all, and one without leaks, mold, mildew, ceilings coming in etc....lol Today, God has put before us an opportunity of one. My wonderful hubby has already looked, and is taking me back to look this afternoon when he gets off of work. The rent is exactly what I felt like God had showed me we could afford a couple of weeks ago, it's in a good neighborhood, and VERY reasonable deposit! It needs some updating, but we can paint, etc....the owner told us, plus we can move in ASAP! Updating means fun to me.... a little paint can usually go a long way.....it was one lady that had lived there for over 15 years. I'm not afraid of a little elbow grease and updating. That is usually fun to me, and it even has a basement that may have the possibility of being a 4th bedroom, not to mention a double car garage, which means we can actually park our car in it, etc...it's a large corner lot, nice area of town, and great place for the kids to play, etc......
It fits our criteria perfectly, and I believe it's God's will. We will know after while when we look at it. I called our preacher, and asked him to stand in prayer for us and I have been in prayer as well. I have asked God to give us clear direction and that with out a doubt whether or not it is from HIM. We are doing our best to honor God with our lives, and finances as well. He is blessing us abundantly, and answering our prayers. THANK YOU LORD!!!! Our preacher's word is that we will know and have a peace immediately if it's God's will for us to have this house when we walk into the living room. I am standing in agreement and faith that we will have that peace and knowledge upon entering it.
As I searched through the bible, asking for God to show me His word, during this time of prayer, faith, trust, and provision He gave me this.....Psalm 77 which is a psalm of Asaph, the theme being: "We are comforted through the hard times by remembering God's help in the past. Recalling God's miracles and previous works can give us courage to continue." NLT Also God gave me this: And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, "They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever." For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.
