Good Morning,
Today the topic is that when we have a need God will provide for us in that need. Kelly wrote,"The one constant through all of these years is that my God has provided, just as He has always promised since the very beginning of time."
Trust in Him for provision. He will not disappoint,

Today's Devotional
"God Provides" Written byKelly Dobyns
Living paycheck to paycheck most of my adult life, there have been so many times that I have just barely gotten by. The one constant through all of these years is that my God has provided, just as He has always promised since the very beginning of time.
Everything that lives
and moves about
will be food for you.
Just as I gave you
the green plants,
I now give you everything.
Genesis 9:3 (NIV)
This promise was just proven to me once again as there is currently still quite a bit of month left, but, not so much of the paycheck. As much as I don’t worry like I used to during these times, it still is an amazing relief when I see how He has provided for me once again. I find myself smiling and saying, “See, there He goes again, saving me”. What a truly wonderful truth to live in, to know and be confident in a love from my God who will always, always be holding me up and getting me through all of my moments.
It humbles me and at the same time grows my faith in great mounds knowing the enormous love I have received and will always continue to receive just as my Lord God has promised. I look back over the years of my life and see how my faith has grown….all because He has proven Himself to me oh so many times. He has never given up on me, even as I try the same things over and over again getting the same results. He is always there to pick me up and provide just exactly what it is that I need at that very moment in time. I am ever so happy to see that I have grown so much more aware of how much He does for me, and knowing this, I am truly a better person which is shown through my actions. It can be seen on the outside that my inside is so much more at peace due to living my life in such a better spirit of love through Christ.
So, whatever the struggle, whatever the need, always remembers He has, and He will forever continue to come alongside with the help we need.
And my God
will meet all your needs
will meet all your needs
according to the riches
of his glory
of his glory
in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
(NIV)

Sometimes,
when I am listening to the radio a Christian song will
really stand out to me. Usually it is because of the lyrics which can
actually be like poetry set to music. The thing that often stands out to me
is the wonderful Christian concepts that are so beautifully presented, I keep thinking about this, and so I decided to feature the lyrics of songs
that illustrate what I am talking about. Todays lyrics are kind of playful.
My plan is to do this every Monday.
Ghost
There's a ghost
There's a ghost inside of me
Not like those drips in old bed sheets
Saying "trick or treat"
Different
Oh, this ghost is different
Not one that leaves me scared to death
But one that puts my fear to rest
Oh, holiness keep haunting me
Oh, you're my hope, you're my peace
Ironic in a way
I'm no longer afraid
And the ghost is to blame
There's a ghost
There's a ghost inside of me
Not something from some campfire story
Where I'm terrified to sleep
Opposite
This ghost is quite the opposite
He came just like a welcomed friend
And I was comforted
Oh, holiness keep haunting me
Oh, you're my hope, you're my peace
Ironic in a way
I'm no longer afraid
And the ghost is to blame
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
No longer…
