God Provides

I'd like to think that I'm a good provider. I work for my family and my hard-earned money provides food on the table, home, and other necessities. But even put together, Edwin's income and mine just cannot meet our financial needs. Heart breaking as it might be, we have to resort to taking out loans and borrowing cash from family. They say when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. The tough does get going because retreat is not option, sacrificing your children's needs is not an option. But God does provide. I have to say it often to myself out loud so that I don't forget. There are times that I become too proud of my own worth and accomplishments that I disillusioned myself into believing that I am god, that I only can provide for my family. No wonder pride is one of deadly sins.

But the all knowing and merciful God has a way of making me realize my fault and humbles me in His own way. He then simply shows me that He alone can provide for all our needs, both the worldly kind and the needs that cannot be found in grocery shelves. God provides, all the time.
