If you don't know about the housing market in Michigan, let me tell you that it's really bad. The thought of trying to sell our house before leaving for CDTS was quite distressing. But again God in His infinite wisdom has taught us a lesson that He undoubtedly will teach us over and over and over again. With one phone call and talking separately to some other family members, we have two people already interested in buying our house. In Michigan that is near impossible. He is able to take care of seemingly impossible things. Like He's telling us "Therefore do not worry", sound familiar. Here's the full text from Matthew 6:25-34:
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 clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Why do we continue to worry? Why do we have to re-learn this lesson all the time? God will take care of us. It may not always be in the way that we like, but it is the way that He has in store for us.
We are humbled and in awe of His grace and mercy and guidance. He has proven His ability to provide for us. We will continue to trust in Him to bring us into His work for His kingdom.
May the Name of the Lord be praised.
