Here at the EDU building studying for my test on Thursday. All the others in the study group have left, and I'm all alone. Could be hacked to bits by an axe murderer. (I jest) But, the Lord is with me! He'll neither leave me nor forget me (Hebrews 13:5-6). So, I'm not really afraid at all. In fact, I'm eating a sandwich. I have no money, and my phone bill is due - $60. Apparently, I paid my rent at the beginning of the year, but it failed to include the month of July. Therefore, my rent is due in 2 days, yet I don't have the $328 necessary to pay it. I have maybe $60 in the bank. That could pay my phone bill, but after that I'm stuck in whichever town I pay it in because I can't afford the gas otherwise. Have no job. But, you know what? The Lord died to pay for this time. He's going to show me just how big and miraculous He is, and how wide His hand and how sweet His grace. I trust in the Lord! I will not fear evil tidings, and my faith is fixed, for I trust in my God! My God shall supply all my need according to His riches in Christ Jesus my Lord! My Savior... There. I've glorified God in the midst of my trouble. Now, according to 2 Corinthians 1, here comes the consolation! Truly, you all. I trust in God completely. Even if I get kicked out of my apartment and don't come up with the $328, I know it is to God's glory and God is willing and allowing it to come to pass, and I trust in His providence and mighty hand to deliver me from all such troubles in Jesus Name. Cheers, Isaac D.
