It’s amazing how God uses the small things to remind us of His love. Whenever I feel burdened with the constant pressure of coping up with life, he leads me to a place that I would never expect: to the pantry. God reminds me how blessed I am that I have something in my pantry to last a whole week, maybe more, while others have nothing to eat. He reminds me that a lot of people do not have financial support of any kind. Some are infirmed physically and emotionally. But not me, my pantry is full. And I should be thankful for that. God reminds me of this particular verse:
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
He knows my needs even before I ask! And He knows your needs, too! If you are feeling down and out, don’t worry. God works in mysterious ways, His ways and not ours. Count your blessings, name them one by one!
Praise the Lord, Amen!
