"Provision"

As always, God has amazed me with His provision. I lost my job a few weeks ago, happened upon a job posting for a better one online, went through a 3 week long application process, and was made a wonderful job offer a few days ago. I start work tomorrow! I can't say that I'm completely shocked, as God perpetually showers my life with favor. Though I'm not surprised, I am definitely filled with gratitude and thanks to a God who knew my needs, and opened even better doors than ones which were closed to me. With the economy like it is and countless people out of work and struggling to find jobs, this blessing is not taken for granted even a little by me. So I wrote a song about it.

I wanted to share it as a public sign of gratitude to God for His provision, but also, and more deeply, because I know there are many of you who are feeling the negative affects of our economic state and high unemployment rate. I just want to encourage you to pray for a good job, or whatever it may be you are in specific need of, take whatever action is necessary on your part (exercising as much faith and patience as possible), and BELIEVE IN MIRACLES. Then, just sit back and watch as they unfold. And they will.

The song is unfinished, but here's what I've got so far this evening. Nate (my youngest son) was listening to me practice it, and fell asleep on the floor by my Korg keyboard. It seems he's feeling peaceful too.

"Provision"

Flowers in the field,
Birds in the air,
Unto the least of these
You offer constant care.

Who am I to question all that You provide?
Who am I to doubt?

Frustrated and afraid,
I find myself.
I'm so faithless some days,
Though I know well

Who You are: a God who's never let me down.
Who am I to doubt?

You say, "Hush now. Just be still."
You say, "Trust now and I will
Show you Love. Just wait. You will see!"
So I'll hush now and be still,
And I'll trust now and I will
Let You love me. You'll always love me.

Flowers in the field,
Birds in the air,
Unto the least of these
You offer constant care.

Who am I to question all that You provide?
Who am I to doubt...
Your provision.
