Day two-hundred-eleven

As believers, we all have those moments where we need to be reminded of God's goodness to us, in this case, in meeting our material needs.

Things have been very tight lately, from a monetary standpoint. As I read this, I'm pretty much broke and I don't get paid again for another week. I remembered out of nowhere that I did have some money set aside. My brother and I sold about $140.00 worth of items of mine on eBay, with the intention that the money go toward buying a TV. I called Joe and told him that I wanted to draw the money from Paypal to have until I get paid again. He agreed once I told him that we could always get a TV when he starts working and can set some money aside.

 I am thankful that God reminded me of that money sitting there, and that Joe was amenable to having that money be used apart from its original plan. I'm also thankful that we didn't stay with that ironical eBay buyer that was dragging his feet on paying us. We wouldn't have had as much money in that pool otherwise.

I'm thirdly thankful that God watched over my bike while at work. I got all the way to work when I discovered that I didn't have my lock and chain. I don't keep my bike in the regular parking lot since they close the gate after dark, and I would have to wait for someone with their car to let me out. The place I park is outside but off the street in a little spot partially surrounded by a wrought iron fence. It's in view of both a glass door and a security camera, so someone would have to get pretty close to the building and risk being seen if they tried to take it.

Regardless, The Lord has been faithfully watching over me. What troubles me is how much I need to be reminded of God's goodness when He showed me His goodness by saving me. What is humbling is that The Lord is faithful and patient in reminding me.
