“The LORD himself goes before you and
will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do
not be discouraged.” – Deuteronomy 31:8
Our family has gone
through some difficult financial times this past year. We owned a business and
often struggled to make ends meet. We finally had to close our business last
week, so I’ve spent some time recalling how God has brought us through the last
few years.
In looking over the
past, I see how amazingly God prepared us for that difficult time and blessed
us in the process. Just little things like finding a beautiful house with oddly
low rent, or finding someone who taught me how to cut our grocery bill in half
shows how God knew all along we were going to have tough times ahead. While in
the storm, it seemed like the worse thing possible, but looking back, He really
protected us and kept us from total financial disaster.
Now as my husband
starts over with a new career, I know God is already a mile ahead, preparing
the way for us. Whether it is going to be down in the valley or up in the
mountains, I know we will be okay, because He is with us. I am so grateful for
His promise that He will never leave us, no matter where we are.
