… No matter what comes our way, God is providing for our needs.

My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Patricia Raybon, uses a story of of how God provided the needs of one of God’s children from the sea. … The ODB author wrote: It’s 2 a.m. when Nadia, a farmer of sea cucumbers, walks into a roped-off pen in the ocean shallows near her Madagascar village to harvest her “crop.” [see photo] The early hour doesn’t bother her. “Life was very hard before I started farming,” she says. “I didn’t have any source of income.” Now, as a member of a marine-protection program called Velondriake, meaning “to live with the sea,” Nadia sees her income growing and stabilizing. “We thank God that this project appeared,” she adds. 

Hey, my friend. The ODB entry illustrates it. Chris Tomlin sings about it. God’s truth (in the Scriptures above) declares it, … that our God is our provider … ALWAYS !! 

However, in these times of desperation in which we live, the question is … DO WE BELIEVE IT?

=============
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for providing for ALL my needs.
=============

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray, Lord, that all reading here will join me to thank God for being our Provider. Amen
