Trials

When I started this blog, we were unemployed and that seemed like a huge trial. Then there were other little things along the way. Then God provided a job and now the trial is catching up the finances. Then today I woke up and thought it was really cold in the house. I checked the thermostat and sure enough it was 59 inside. That's chilly! This was my trial for today. Why is it that things like this seem to happen on Sundays? Count it all joy! God doesn't clarify that and say count only big trials joy. He says all trials, even things like being a little cold. (With the electric heater we are up to a balmy 68.) He will fix the heat in His time. (Repair men are hopefully coming tomorrow.) So I am remembering today God's goodness to us. I am rejoicing in this next opportunity to trust Him to provide and shelter us.

Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens
and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm.
There is nothing too hard for You.
Jeremiah 32:17 (NKJV)
