Everyday Promises – 194

All your needs

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 NIV

Our family was abandoned by my father, so we were very poor when I was young. We lived in a two-roomed, unlined house. We had no bathroom, or laundry. Mum had barely enough basic necessities for our family. One morning my mother got on her knees beside her bed, threw the covers back to show God the dirty sheets and pleaded with him to provide clean sheets. It had rained for weeks and there was no way to wash and dry the sheets for Mum’s bed. Washing and drying them inside was impossible for she only had the old copper that sat on the unroofed, back verandah. That day Mum got a letter. When she opened the letter, out fell 10 pound. It was such a wonderful answer to her prayer. Later she found out that several days before she’d prayed, a voice had instructed a lady from the church to send the money to mum. God knows our needs and he loves to help his children when we call on him.
