One of my Siestas Patty hosts "God Stop Fridays" where you get a chance to reflect on how you saw God during the week. God reminded me this week that He prepares for your needs even before you have them.
With everything going up in price, God already provided to offset something that has gone up. This next school year our kids are going to be doing a virtual charter school. They are going to provide us with another computer and give us $10 towards our internet bill(our bill increased by $10 last month.) It isn't a very significant amount, but it is more about God saying I am going to take care of you, just trust me.
I am reminded of these verses in Matthew 6:
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Thank you God that You are taking care of us and that we don't have to worry about our life because You have it under control!
