Down to the wire but God provides…AGAIN!!
I have been down to the wire financially so many times…I’ve lost count and take it pretty much in stride these days in the sense that there is a settled sense within my heart that God will open a way. Always.
That is not to say that I do not struggle to believe. I still struggle at times. Especially when I am down to the wire without seeing any possible way in which my needs could get met.
This was not one of those times as I have a client who is mailing me $50 through regular mail and $200 in hosting commissions (that I earned by referring clients to a great hosting company) coming to me within the next week or two.
But today…I am down to $12.36 cents in my bank account with exactly $1.01 in cash in my wallet. A whopping $13.37! Just enough to do laundry a couple of times before the end of the month and not much else.
No sweat…for God!
A client, who has not given me any work in several months, contacted me today and wants help with something. They are depositing $250 directly into my bank account today and pre-paying for 10 hours of work (I charge $25 per hour for web development work unless I give a fixed fee estimate).
All in a day’s provision from God! Praise God!
Oh…and the signing for Jesus bro that I met yesterday might have some more work for me too!
Me. A homeless “bum” living outside in the bushes. Too funny!
Truth is that I am no bum and about the most conscientious, skilled, and trustworthy web developer one could hire though I do sleep in a tent as a homeless person (my clients all know that by the way and have no problem with it in view of the quality work I do for them).
But I am what I am because of God in my life and it is His favor granted to me through others that has enabled me to do any of this at all. Apart from Him I would likely be just another homeless “bum” or worse yet a Pharasee type blown up by my own sense of self-importance, judging everyone around me, and arrogantly thinking that I am better than others and more worthy of eternal life based solely on my “good” life.
